The United States Department of Justice has maintained that only President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s regime can provide reasons disgraced and suspended DCP Abba Kyari has not been extradited to the U.S.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a matter of policy, the department generally does not comment on extradition-related matters. We defer any questions about the status of a defendant\u2019s extradition to the foreign country,\u201d Nicole Oxman, a spokeswoman for the DOJ, said in an email to Peoples Gazette.<\/p>\n
The comment came in response to enquiries from The Gazette after the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) declared Mr Kyari wanted for drug trafficking.<\/p>\n
Justice minister Abubakar Malami had disclosed on Channels TV that Mr Kyari, fingered in the Ramon \u2018Hushpuppi\u2019 Abbas\u2019 multimillion-dollar internet fraud scheme, may be extradited to the U.S. to face charges. However, Mr Malami did not provide a time frame for the process to be completed.<\/p>\n
Mr Malami explained that Mr Buhari\u2019s regime was collaborating with the U.S. government on Mr Kyari\u2019s involvement with Hushpuppi. According to him, both countries had been \u201cdiscussing and collaborating and there are exchange of correspondence from the perspective of investigation, from the perspective of extradition and associated things.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since the FBI uncovered Mr Kyari\u2019s involvement in the multimillion-dollar internet scam by Hushpuppi and his syndicate, three separate panels had been set up by the police to examine and reexamine the case filed by the FBI against him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
