IGP had earlier ordered an “internal review” of the indictment of Kyari, by the FBI of the United States.
The indictment was a fallout of the cybercrime charge levelled against Nigeria’s Instagram Influencer, Ray Hushpuppi, real name Ramon Olorunwa Abbas.
Hushpuppi and five other Nigerians and a Kenyan were alleged to have defrauded a Qatari businessman of about $1.1 million between December 2019 and early 2020.
Kyari got entangled in the case by arresting a colleague of Hushpuppi, Kelly Chibuzo Vincent, at Hushpuppi’s request.
Hushpuppi claimed he bribed Kyari for the arrest and even made Kyari to send photograph of the arrest.
Kyari has been named in the court papers and Judge Otis Wright of the District Court in California Central District has ordered the FBI to arrest him.
Kyari also denied all allegations
