The Police Service Commission (PSC) and other police officials have begun the process of dismissing Abba Kyari, the beleaguered Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP).
According to Anaedoonline.ng, this comes after the Federal Government decided to start the extradition process of Abba Kyari following a request from the US for the disgraced cop to answer questions about the $1.1 million wire fraud allegedly perpetrated by Abass Ramon, aka Hushpuppi, and four others.
While Abba Kyari and his crew were formally questioned by police on Sunday, it was reported that the Federal Government may have accepted Kyari’s extradition to allow him to clear himself of allegations brought against him by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI.

According to the source, removing Abba Kyari will avoid the embarrassment that might come with his NDLEA prosecution following his suspected involvement in a deal that is still under investigation.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) filed eight count charges against Kyari and others on Thursday for suspected drug trafficking.
Abba Kyari is sought in the United States on suspicion of conspiring to commit wire fraud, money laundering, and identity theft.
He was accused of plotting to perpetrate the crime alongside Ramon Abbas, called Hushpuppi, a Nigerian living in the United Arab Emirate, UAE.
“If you recall, the report of the DIG Joseph Egbunike Special Investigation earlier submitted by IGP Usman Alkali Baba was returned and Force Headquarters asked to carry out another investigation on the Hushpuppi allegation.

“They are yet to return the new investigation report to us. But whatever be the case, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice may have considered it expedient to send him to first clear himself of the allegations against him in the US.
“If he’s exonerated, then it would be easy to determine the case in Nigeria,” a source told Newsmen.
