The Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States of America had indicted Kyari in a fraud case involving internet fraudster, Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi.

A panel set up by the IGP Usman Alkali had forwarded a report to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, for legal advice.

Meanwhile, Malami on Monday disclosed that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government and the United States government are discussing the possible extradition of the suspended head of the Intelligence Response Team, DCP Abba Kyari.
