Foremost National Security Expert and Lawyer, Dr. Ody Ajike has backed the embattled DCP Abba Kyari to come out clean from the allegations of fraud levelled against him by a popular fraudster, Abbas Ramoni, popularly known as Hushpuppi.
DCP Abba Kyari, a super cop, widely celebrated for his heroics against criminals and bandits was on Thursday alleged to have benefited from a $1.1 million fraud involving a Qatari School Owner and Abbas Hushpuppi.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, was ordered 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, Ajike said it is a ‘sort of misplaced sophistication by US authorities’.
Ajike stated this in a statement signed by him and made available to the press, insisting that Kyari is a neutral and competent professional who has made giant strides in curbing predatory kidnapping and other various types of criminal insurgencies in Nigeria.
He said, “The recent publicized order by a US Court for the arrest and detention of DCP Abba Kyari is a sort of misplaced sophistication by US authorities.
“Its actually in the shade of the usual US character of exerting messianic responsibilities around the world to suit their purposes and alter their internal contradictions. I agree a court can make such wide orders but, we must understand the role of the US in the politics of insecurity in Nigeria.
“DCP Abba Kyari is a neutral competent professional who has made giant strides in curbing predatory kidnapping and other various types of criminal insurgencies in Nigeria. Is the US actually interested in ensuring that the Nigeria Police and IRT fail in their statutory duties? We need to look at this dimension critically. DCP Abba Kyari did not commit any offence on US soil or any offence denting the integrity of the US financial system. Why then grant an order for his arrest? I think the Nigerian State should resist the enforcement of such an order and treat it as a ploy to destabilize our internal security mechanism which Kyari is playing a very critical role.”
