Coalition Of Northern Groups Demand Review Of Kyari’s Suspension

The Coalition of Northern Groups has kicked against the suspension of the embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mr. ABBA KYARI following his indictment by a US Court.

Spokesman of the Coalition, comprising civil society organisations and non-governmental bodies, ABDULAZEEZ SULAIMAN spoke at a news conference after its meeting in Kaduna state.

He noted that both the Nigerian police authorities and the FBI breached KYARI's fundamental rights by not allowing him to be heard before taking the hasty actions against him.

They have, therefore, demanded an immediate review of the suspension and have also asked that the ongoing investigation with the FBI be transferred to the Nigerian Intelligence Agency.

Mr. ABBA KYARI was suspended by the Police Service Commission following his indictment in the case of alleged fraud linked to popular socialite, RAMON ABBAS, a.k.a HUSHPUPPI.

According to a statement by the commission's Head of Public Relations, IKECHUKWU ANI, the suspension took effect from July 31, and would subsist pending the outcome of the investigation.

The commission also directed the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, to furnish it with information on further developments on the matter for necessary further action.
