Abba Kyari: Panel Reveals Content Of Investigative Report Sent To IGP Alkali

Joseph Egbunike, the Chairman of a Special investigative Panel setup to investigate embattled Cop, Abba Kyari, has revealed the contents of a report submitted to the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali.

Speaking to the press while submitting the report to the Inspector-General of Police, at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, on Thursday, Egbunike noted that the Panel commenced investigations immediately it was inaugurated on 2nd August, 2021.

He disclosed that the report submitted is an outcome of a painstaking, transparent and exhaustive investigative process.

He further revealed that the report presented contained the case file of the probe, evidences and findings as well as testimonies from DCP Abba Kyari and other persons and groups linked to the matter.

The IGP, who commended the Panel for the work done, was quoted as stating that “the essence of the probe was to carry out discrete investigations into the allegation levied against the Officer to enable the Force leadership to be appropriately guided in its decision-making processes”.

He assured that “a careful and expeditious review of the recommendations would be undertaken by the Force Management Team and thereafter forwarded to appropriate quarters for necessary action(s)”.

Kyari got into hot water after the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, indicted him for being part of a conspiracy to defraud a Qatari businessman of $1.1 million. He was alleged to be part of a ring headed by disgraced fraudster, Ramon Olorunwa Abass a.k.a Ray Hushpuppi.
