The Police Service Commission (PSC) has said that a US court has no right to order the arrest of a Nigerian citizen residing in Nigeria.
The Police Service Commission (PSC) disclosed on Saturday, that they have not received any formal letter on the allegation against Abba Kyari the Nigerian super cop a deputy commissioner of police.
The deputy commissioner of police (DCP) was referenced as a beneficiary in an international fraud case of $1.1million involving Hushpuppi and his gang that led the US court to order the arrest of Abba Kyari.
The US wants Kyari extradited to answer questions on the allegations.
Although the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, has ordered an investigation into the allegations, the PSC on Saturday claimed it is yet to be formally briefed on the matter.
The Commissioner in charge of Media on the board of the PSC, Austin Braimoh told The Nation that they would not be bound by the IG’s review of the allegations against Kyari.
“The PSC has no position on the allegations against DCP Abba Kyari for now.
“This is because no formal report is before the Commission on the officer. All we hear are mere allegations from media outlets. No constitutional body works with such. A formal report must come to the Commission from somewhere or someone. Besides, we heard that a United States Court either indicted or ordered his arrest. It sounds strange to me that a US court could order the arrest of a non-citizen, a Nigerian citizen resident in Nigeria.
“Nigeria is a sovereign nation with its laws and justice systems. We surely must be guided by our own Attorney General, and also guided by our own courts, internal investigations and to trust our justice system,” Braimoh said.
