It’s a mere conspiracy against one of our best cops – Fani-Kayode backs Kyari
by Peregba Jerry
DCP Abba Kyari, who is the commander, IGP Intelligence Response Monitoring Team was on Thursday alleged to have benefited from a $1.1 million fraud involving a Qatari School Owner and Abbas Hushpuppi.
A former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has backed the embattled DCP Abba Kyari to come out clean from the allegations of fraud levelled against him by a notorious fraudster, Abbas Ramoni, popularly known as Hushpuppi.
The United States Attorney’s Office, Central District of California, had issued an arrest warrant, ordering the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, to immediately arrest and detain DCP Abba Kyari for allegedly benefiting from the proceeds of the fraud.
Recall that DCP Abba Kyari has denied any involvement insisting that he and his men merely responded to a distress call from Hushpuppi and never collected a kobo from the money laundering kingpin
Reacting to the allegations against Abba Kyari by Hushpuppi, Fani-Kayode said it is a mere conspiracy to destroy his career and the excellent service he has offered to Nigeria.
Fani-Kayode said this in a post on his social media handle, insisting that unless he sees a prove he will never believe the allegations against Abba Kyari.
He said, “A super cop that has risked his life protecting us from kidnappers, murderers & terrorists all these years; that has arrested more criminals than any other is accused of taking bribes from a yahoo boy, scammer all the way from America and we are expected to believe it? Not me”
“Abba is one of the bravest, brightest and best cops in Nigeria and I will not believe these crazy allegations levelled against him or condemn him unless I see any evidence to the contrary,” He wrote.
Fani-Kayode noted that Abba Kyari has proven himself as an excellent cop over time with an impeccable record of fight crime.
“He has proved himself over and over again when it comes to catching criminals and I do not believe that he is one himself. If he were he would not have such an excellent record in combating crime.” He said.
According to FFK, “Allegations are a dime a dozen and an indictment does not amount to a conviction: show me the evidence or keep your mouth shut forever.”
He noted that, “Nigerians seem to take delight in believing and assuming the worse about their best. That is part of our problem: we love and celebrate the evil but we despise, hate and seek to pull down the righteous and good.”
“As far as I am concerned there are as many crooked, bent and killer cops all over the world as there are good ones. America has its fair share of both. The only people that ought to take pleasure in reading this crap about Abba are the kidnappers and terrorists in our country,” He wrote
Fani-Kayode believes that the allegations are mere distractions, urging Abba kyari to continue his service to the nation.
“I urge Abba to continue the good work he has been doing and not allow himself to be distracted by his numerous detractors.
“This is a deep conspiracy to destroy his career and it will not work.” He wrote.
Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba Alkali has ordered an internal review of the allegations preferred against DCP Abba Kyari, promising to continue to work with the FBI and other international crime fight agencies to curb criminal activities.
The statement which was signed by the police force spokesperson CP Frank Mba promised to make available to the public findings of the internal review.
