BREAKING: Court Quashes FG’s Application To Extradite Abba Kyari To US
A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed a suit by the Federal Government to extradite the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, to the United States of America.
In his ruling on Monday, Justice Inyang Ekwo struck out the suit filed by Abubakar Malami, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, on the ground that the application is incompetent.
The Federal Government filed the extradition charges against Kyari to pave the way for his extradition to America to answer fraud allegations in the United States of America.
In April 2021, a jury in America filed an indictment against Kyari with the approval of the US District Court and demanded that Kyari should stand trial for conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering and identity theft.
