The Federal Government has approved the request by the United States of America, to extradite the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari.
This was disclosed by the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, after he filed an application before the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Malami noted that the request for the surrender of Kyari was not intended to persecute or punish him but in good faith and the interest of justice.
The US had demanded Kyari’s extradition in April, 2021, over his alleged involvement in the $1.1million wire fraud by Abass Ramon, also known as Hushpuppi.
