The Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) has demanded an investigation into the alleged bribery allegation leveled against DCP Abba Kyari.
According to US court documents, Hushpuppi had alleged that he bribed DCP Kyari to arrest a rival fraudster, Vincent.
Court official said during the interrogation that the Instagram celebrity said he gave the Kyari money to arrest and jail ” one of his rivals in Nigeria after a dispute over a $1.1 million scam on Qatari business people
Kyari had since denied the allegation from Hushpuppi, although the Federal Bureau of Investigation(FBI) has revealed that both men had a long-standing relationship.
Reacting to the allegation in a statement on Thursday, national publicity secretary of the PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan said the involvement of Kyari is a stain on the integrity of our nation
“The revelation of the involvement of Kyari, the head of Nigeria’s intelligence response unit, as a receiver of proceeds of international fraud is worrisome, disturbing and a stain on the integrity of our nation.
“It is indeed disquieting that the integrity of our nation has fallen so abysmally low under the corrupt and fraud-patronizing President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration, to the extent that the head of its police intelligence unit is being charged in connection with international fraud.
“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.
