Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Abuja Federal High Court has struck out the suit filed by Abubakar Malami, the Attorney General of the Federation and Justice Minister, seeking the extradition of disgraced super cop Abba Kyari to the United States of America, following a request by the US embassy over his ties to Ramon Abbas ‘HushPuppi’ who is standing trial on allegations of wire fraud and criminal money laundering.
The court ruled the application ‘incompetent’ and denied the request of the Justice Ministry, marking a momentary reprieve for Abba Kyari, the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police who is also facing allegations bordering on drug trafficking from the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
