Usman Alkali Baba, the inspector-general of police (IGP), has received the report of the panel set up to probe the bribery allegations against Abba Kyari, the deputy commissioner of police (DCP).
Frank Mba, the police spokesman,
announced this in a statement issued on Thursday.
The panel was constituted to
probe Kyari over his alleged relationship with Hushpuppi, the self-confessed
international fraudster.
The Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) had earlier revealed how Kyari allegedly collaborated with
Hushpuppi to jail one of his associates after a dispute over a $1.1 million
scam on Qatari businesspeople.
The agency also claimed that the
embattled social media celebrity hosted the crack investigator in Dubai.
But the top detective denied the
allegation, claiming that his “hands are clean”.
According to Frank Mba, the
report of the investigative panel was handed over to the IGP by Joseph
Egbunike, chairman of the panel.
The statement reads: “The
Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, psc (+), NPM, fdc today,
26th August, 2021, received the report of the NPF Special Investigation Panel
(SIP) investigating the alleged indictment of the erstwhile Head of the Police
Intelligence Response Team (IRT), DCP Abba Kyari by the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI). The report was submitted by the chairman of the SIP, DIG
Joseph Egbunike, at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
“DIG Egbunike, while presenting
the report, appreciated the IGP for the confidence reposed on him and the
members of the Panel to conduct the probe. He noted that the Panel commenced
investigations immediately it was inaugurated on 2nd August, 2021 and 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, stated that the essence of the probe was to carry out
discrete investigations into the allegation levied against the Officer to
enable the Force leadership be appropriately guided in its decision-making
processes. The IGP 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). He reiterated as always, the
commitment of the Force to justice for all.”
