Abba Kyari: DPP Blames Police For Not Probing Gaps In Report

The DPP has reacted following reports that the Attorney General of the federation and minister of justice Abubakar Malami made a U-turn and questioned the reports that indicted former DCP Abba Kyari.

The DPP said the AGF’s new position was based on the police report, noting that the police failed to probe the gaps identified in their investigation by the ministry.

Abubakar Malami had insisted that the ministry did not say there was an evidence of money laundering against Kyari.

The DPP stated, “We said in the absence of the evidence, further investigation is needed and they should go ahead to try him on the administrative offences they have identified. We said they (police) should establish linkages – the money trail.

“Instead of them to go and investigate further the gaps we identified, they didn’t. They just wrote back to say ‘check paragraphs so and so’. We are saying no, those paragraphs did not sufficiently establish the things we say you should establish.”

Meanwhile, the police have yet to submit a fresh report on Kyari as directed by the PSC.

The commission had rejected the police investigation on Kyari carried out by the SIP led by DIG Joseph Egbunike. It ordered a fresh one, which should have been submitted on February 25.

Despite establishing the fact that a total of N279.120mn flowed to the younger Kyari’s bank account at various times from the cyber scam syndicate members, the panel failed to invite or interrogate him.
