Don’t Blame IPOB For Your Travails – Police Panel Tells Abba Kyari

A probe panel set up by the Inspector General of Police has slammed the former head of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT), Abba Kyari, over a comment on his travails.

Naija News earlier reported that the embattled super cop had alleged that members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) are behind his predicament due to the raid against them in the South East.

It was learned that the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police made the allegation during his appearance before the investigation panel set up to probe him at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.

But according to the report submitted to IGP Usman Baba, which was then forwarded to the Police Service Commission (PSC), the panel berated the embattled police officer for blaming the proscribed group for his travails.

In the report, the probe panel described Kyari’s claim as baseless and watery, asking the PSC to demote the suspended police officer from the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police to Assistant Commissioner of Police.

In related news, investigations carried out by the police has revealed that the younger brother of Kyari received ₦235,120,000 from internet fraudster, Ramon Abass popularly known as Hushpuppi.

The report of the police also disclosed how the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police transferred ₦44m to his brother’s bank account in multiple transactions.

The report, however, did not reveal if the younger brother of the suspended police officer was acting as a proxy for Kyari who is currently been detained by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.

The investigation report forwarded to the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, disclosed that Kyari’s brother received a total of ₦279.120m from a cyber syndicate like Efe Martins (lead coordinator), Sikiru Adekoya, Usman Ibrahim, and Hussaini Ala.
