Kyari had on August 4, stirred an outrage following a Facebook post on which he deleted and disappeared from the space. 

However, the embattled cop took to his Facebook page on Thursday to share a hilarious TikTok video posted by one Sanda Tobacco wherein a cart pusher was videoed displaying some roller skating skills while the videographer laughingly said the cart pusher “is very crazy wallahi!”.

It was gathered that during interrogation, Abba Kyari had dismissed allegations of conniving with Hushpuppi to defraud the Qatari businessman.

Sources revealed that the panel sessions were relaxed and cordial boosting Kyari’s confidence that he would be absolved of the allegations.

It was learnt that the panel submitted the report but it was rejected by the IG for being too lenient on Kyari.

A source stated, “The panel concluded its investigation and submitted its report to the IG last Thursday or Friday but the IG rejected it. He was not comfortable with the panel findings and recommendations.”
