PDP Calls For A Forensic Investigation Into FBI’s Link Of Abba Kyari To Hushpuppi

The Peoples Democratic Party has added voice to the demand for a forensic investigation into reports that the FBI has linked the head of IGP Intelligence Response Team, ABBA KYARI, to an international fraudster, ABBAS RAMON, popularly known as HUSHPUPPI.

In a statement by the party's spokesman, KOLA OLOGBONDIYAN, the PDP was of the opinion that the revelation of the involvement of KYARI, as a receiver of proceeds of international fraud is worrisome, disturbing, and a stain on the integrity of the nation.

He wondered how President BUHARI-led All Progressives Congress is fighting corruption when the head of its police intelligence unit is being charged in connection with international fraud.

The party demanded that Nigerians should not allow the matter be swept under the carpet.
