Its bid to extradite the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Abba Kyari, to the United States of America (USA), on Monday failed as an Abuja Federal High Court declined the extradition application filed by the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN).
This is because the court, presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, in a judgment, held that the extradition application was an abuse of the court process because Kyari was already standing a criminal trial before a Nigerian court.
It would be recalled that the American government had applied to its Nigerian counterpart for Kyari’s extradition in relation to his alleged link with an international fraudster, Ramon Abbas (hushpuppi), who has been convicted by a court in America.
Specifically, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, Los Angeles, affirmed last week that Hushpuppi will be sentenced on September 21, 2022.
