The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called for the handing over of the head of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team, DCP Abba Kyari, to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, if found guilty of alleged corruption against him.
The leading opposition party made the call in a press statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan.
Recall that Abba Kyari has been accused by alleged international fraudster, Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi, of collecting bribe from him.
In its reaction, PDP described the development as disquieting and a slur on the integrity of Nigeria.
It called on the federal government, therefore, not to sweep the matter under the carpet, but do everything possible to redeem Nigeria’s image.
Said the PDP: “Our party demands that the APC administration should not sweep this matter under the carpet given the manifest rapport between Kyari and some top APC leaders.
“We urge President Buhari not to “ease out” this case of corruption but should immediately restore the integrity and image of our nation by allowing for a forensic investigation on the suspect.
“Moreover, if this Abba Kyari matter is not well handled, it will be a permanent stain on the reputation of our police, security system and our nation at large.
“The PDP therefore asks President Buhari to direct the Inspector General of Police to take in Abba Kyari for questioning and if found culpable, he should be handed over to the FBI.”
