The Coalition of Northern Groups has kicked against the suspension of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr Abba Kyari following his indictment by a US Court.
According to the spokesman of the Coalition, Abdulazeez Sulaiman at a news conference on Sunday August 8th 2021, after its meeting in Kaduna state, he stated that both the Nigerian police authorities and the FBI breached Kyari ‘s fundamental rights by not allowing him to be heard before taking the hasty actions against him.
The group further demanded an immediate review of the suspension and have also asked that the ongoing investigation with the FBI be transferred to the Nigerian Intelligence Agency.
Recall that, Kyari was suspended by the Police Service Commission last Sunday following his indictment in the case of alleged fraud linked to popular Instagram celebrity, Ramon Abbas, a.k.a Hushpuppi.
The suspension was sent in a letter signed by Justice Clara Bata Ogunbiyi, a retired justice of the Supreme Court, which took effect from July 31, and would be pending the outcome of the investigation.
