Attorney-General Abubakar Malami has prayed the Federal High Court to grant approval for immediate extradition of police chief Abba Kyari to the United States.
Mr Kyari was indicted by the FBI last year on allegations of conniving with international fraudster Ramon ‘Hushpuppi’ Abbas to defraud a Qatari businessman of millions of dollars. Hushpuppi was extradited to the U.S. from Dubai in 2020.
Mr Kyari initially denied the charges, but he was subsequently suspended by the police and a police probe panel confirmed his guilt. Mr Malami said Mr Kyari should be extradited to face trial in the U.S.
because his case there was solid and not politically or religiously motivated.
