Naija News learned that Kyari was interrogated by the head of the panel, Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge Force Criminal Investigations Department, DIG Joseph Egbunike, for hours at Area 10 headquarters of FCID in Garki, Abuja.

It was gathered the interrgoation which was held behind closed doors began at about 2pm and finished about 6pm before it was adjourned.

Before Monday’s interrogation, Kyari had appeared before the SIP on three occasions and had continued to insist on his innocence, saying he did nothing wrong.

Recall that Kyari, who is currently on suspension, has been indicted by a United States District Court which issued an arrest warrant for him.

The court also confirmed that it ordered the FBI to arrest the police officer for his alleged role in a $1m scam perpetrated by Hushpuppi and five others.

Officials said in court filings that Hushpuppi disclosed during interrogation that he paid bribes to Kyari to have one of his rivals arrested and jailed in Nigeria following a dispute over a $1.1 million dupe of a Qatari businessperson.
