Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammad Dingyadi has said that President Muhammadu Buhari will determine the fate of suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari over his alleged bribery case involving internet fraudster, Hushpuppi.
Dingyadi said this during a Channels Television programme, Politics Daily, on Tuesday.
The Minister said that the police management had done what is required of them in this case and hoped that Nigerians would wait to see the actions that would be taken on the matter.
“The issue of Kyari has become a public domain and I think by now everybody has heard that the police in their very wisdom, in their usual way of becoming transparent and fair to all have set up a committee to investigate all these allegations.
“We have also reported that the committee has submitted the report to the Inspector General of Police (IGP).

“We have also submitted this report and recommendations to the Attorney-General of the Federation for a legal opinion, thereafter, we will take it to Mr President for final consideration. So, you can see that even though this matter is a local matter here, it has some international connotations.
“We have to do some due diligence to ensure that we do the right thing. We have to do some consultations with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Justice before a final decision will be taken,” Dingyadi said.
Recall that the Federal Bureau of Investigations had declared Abba Kyari wanted after Huspuppi fingered him in a $1m fraud against a Qatari businessman.
