 GreenWhiteGreen GWG had reported Kyari as denying the allegation with the claim that his hands were totally clean over the issue.

In the first official reaction by the Nigerian authorities on the matter that could tarnish one of the most high profile crime busters in the history of the police, police spokesman, Frank Mba said that the Inspector General had ordered an internal review of the issue.

Mba, a commissioner of police, said:
