The Federal Government has given an insight to the approval
of the request by the United States for extradition of Abba Kyari.
The suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) and former
head of Intelligence Response Team (IRT) is wanted for conspiracy.
Kyari was linked to a $1.1million wire fraud involving Abass
Ramon, aka Hushpuppi, under prosecution by the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI).
Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN) filed an application before the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
The application marked FHC/ABJ/CS/249/2022 was filed under
the Extradition Act.
In a statement on Wednesday, Malami’s spokesman, Umar Gwandu,
explained that extradition is a process that involves multifaceted components.
“The components are usually multi-territorial;
international, local and judicial.
“Submision of request from the concern party to the relevant
authorities constitutes one of such components.
“The Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and
Minister of Justice received the extradition request in respect of the officer
in question.
“After thorough studies and reviews of issues regarding the
application and components, the office processed the application and forward
same to the relevant authorities for further necessary action”, Gwandu noted.
