Huspuppi: Court Declines Suit Seeking Protection For Abba Kyari

The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court has declined approval of an ex-parte application for an order to stop the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr Abubakar Malami, SAN, from arresting and extraditing the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP, Abba Kyari.

The court, in a ruling delivered Thursday evening by Justice Ahmed Mohammed, declined the motion which was filed by a group under the aegis of the Incorporated Trustees of Northern Peace Foundation.

The court however ordered the applicants, through their lawyer, Dr Olukayode Ajulo, to turn the ex-parte application a motion on notice and serve all the relevant processes on Police and AGF.

It subsequently adjourned the matter till September 9 for mention.

The group had supported the ex-parte application dated August 9, with a 21-paragraphed affidavit of urgency.

They specifically prayed the court for a temporary order of injunction against the two Defendants, pending the hearing and determination of their substantial suit.

It will be recalled that DCP Kyari was indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, in a multi-million naira cyberfraud masterminded by Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi.

DCP Kyari had since been suspended while the police have constituted a Special Investigation Panel (SIP) to investigate the matter; while the Police Service Commission (PSC) has also disclosed it will set up a panel to probe the embattled celebrated police officer.
