The Federal Government filed the extradition charges against Kyari to pave way for his extradition to America to answer fraud allegations.
Justice Ekwo, however, held that the Federal Government has no basis to file the extradition request having put Abba Kyari on trial in Nigeria in relation to the allegations against him in America.
Abba Kyari was once known as the ”supercop”, due to his exploit as one of the leading officers in the Nigerian police. He however met his doom when different allegations started flying around about his illegal activities with men of the underworld, drug kingpins and internet scammers popularly called G-Boys.
