Indication’s emerged on Wednesday that the Police Service Commission may have found loopholes in the investigative report submitted by the DIG Joseph Egbunike led investigative panel over the alleged involvement of suspended IRT Commander, DCP Abba Kyari in the $1.1million Internet fraud perpetrated by Mr Ramon Abbass aka Hushpuppi.
Consequently, the Commission has reverted the report findings back to IGP Usman Alkali Baba for further investigation and clarity with regards to the specific indictment’s pointed out by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation.
At a Press Briefing on December 21, 2021, the Commissioner in Charge of Media and Publicity of the PSC, Mr Austin Braimoh, when speaking on issues of discipline and when indicted Police officers including Abba Kyari’s case will be reviewed and sanctions meted out, disclosed that cases of discipline and the fate of DCP Abba Kyari whose investigation report had been submitted to the commission will be sorted out by January/February 2022 by the commission and that the final decision will be made known.
Braimoh had said, “There are several disciplinary cases involving officers and the Police Service Commission will look into them together which is the practice. The PSC is not going to set up a panel to try DCP Abba Kyari or look into his case separately.
“The plenary has not deliberated on the aspect of discipline for officers. It will be looked into jointly with other disciplinary cases of other officers having issues. Kyari’s case and others will be decided after due consideration of everything. We do not treat any disciplinary cases in isolation.
