Abba Kyari
The Police Service Commission has deferred decision on the case involving the suspended Head of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team, Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba A. Kyari.
The position of the Commission was contained in a statement by its Head of Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, on Friday.
Kyari had earlier been indicted by a report of the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States of America and was also investigated by a Special Panel set up by the Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba.
The report had earlier been forwarded to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, for legal advice by the Inspector General of Police.
The Commission in the statement on Friday directed that further necessary investigation should take half the time it took the Police to conduct the original investigation and that it should be carried out by a different panel.
The Commission took the decision at the continuation of its14th Plenary Meeting, which ended in Abuja on February 11, 2022, chaired by Alhaji Musiliu Smith, a retired Inspector General of Police and its Chairman.
The Commission at the Plenary Meeting also considered 20 Pending Disciplinary Matters and five appeals and petitions from the Inspector General of Police and aggrieved serving and ex-Police Officers.
