Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, has reacted to the news that the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, has been exonerated by his office.
Kyari is currently wanted in United States by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, over alleged link with popular socialitye, Abbas Ramon, also known as Hush Puppi, in alleged $1.1Million money laundering scheme.
in a statement by Umar Gwandu, Spokesperson to Malami, he said that Kyari was never exonerated by the office of the AGF as he only asked the police to carry out more investigations concerning the matter.
Describing the case as a work in progress, he said: “Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN has described as false the media reports that his Office had conclusively exonerated Abba Kyari.
“There appears to be misunderstanding regarding the issue. It was a case of work in progress in respect of which the office of the Attorney General of the federation requested for further probe in relation to some aspects of investigation.
“It was clear that the conclusion on the alleged contradiction on the issue was a clear case of misconception.
“The issues were raised for further investigation with a view to cover the field in investigation in order to arrive at informed decision,” he added.
