US Court Issues Arrest Warrant On Deputy Commissioner Of Nigerian Police, Abba Kyari .
A warrant of arrest has been issued against a Deputy Commissioner of Nigerian Police Abba Kyari following his indictment in the ongoing trial of Nigerian fraudster Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, known as Hushpuppi, in the United States.
The warrant was issued by Otis Wright, a judge in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, on July 26.
The court instructed the Federal Bureau of Investigation to track down Kyari and produce him in the United States to face trial for his roles in the fraud.
Kyari was said to have been bribed by Hushpuppi to have Chibuzo Vincent, one of his business partners, arrested in Nigeria following a dispute over a $1.1 million. The court ordered the Federal Bureau of Investigation to track down Kyari and produce him in the United States to face trial for his roles in the fraud.
Meanwhile, Kyari had denied the allegation in a statement on his Facebook page, but he admitted to have collected the sum of N300,000 transferred by the suspect for clothes and caps through the cloth seller’s bank account.
He also said Chibuzo Vincent was arrested at no cost.
“Abbas who we later came to know as Hushpuppi called our office about 2 years ago that somebody in Nigeria seriously threatened to kill his Family here in Nigeria and he sent the person’s Phone number and pleaded we take action before the Person attacks his family,” he said.
“We traced and arrested the Suspect and after investigations we discovered there wasn’t an actual threat to anyone’s life. And they are long time friends who have money issues between them hence we released the Suspect on bail to go and he was not taken to any jail.
