Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari has updated his Facebook status with a third-party post over the fraud allegation levelled against him by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in a case involving internet fraudster, Ramon Abbas popularly known as Hushpuppi.
The United States Attorney’s Office, Central District of California, issued an arrest warrant against Kyari over the link in the fraud case ongoing in the US.
Hushpuppi who pleaded guilty to the charges levelled against him, risks a 20-year-jail term, three-year supervision upon completion of jail term and monetary restitution to the tune of $500,000 or more.
Kyari in a post on his Facebook account is seen with a gun pulled and standing in front of a Police helicopter, along with two other photographs showing his full Police details.
However, on Friday Kyari updated his Facebook account with a post by a former minister who condemned the allegations against the super cop.
The post reads:
“A super cop that has risked his life protecting us from kidnappers, murderers & terrorists all these years& that has arrested more criminals than any other is accused of taking bribes from a yahoo boy & scammer all the way from America & we are expected to believe it? Not me!”
“Abba is one of the bravest, brightest and best cops in Nigeria and I will not believe these crazy allegations levelled against him or condemn him unless I see any evidence to the contrary.”
“He has proved himself over and over again when it comes to catching criminals and I do not believe that he is one himself. If he were he would not have such an excellent record in combating crime.”
“Nigerians seem to take delight in believing and assuming the worse about their best. That is part of our problem: we love and celebrate the evil but we despise, hate and seek to pull down the righteous and good.”
“As far as I am concerned there are as many crooked, bent & killer cops all over the world as there are good ones & America has its fair share of both. The only people that ought to take pleasure in reading this crap about Abba are the kidnappers and terrorists in our country.”
“Allegations are a dime a dozen and an indictment does not amount to a conviction: show me the evidence or keep your mouth shut forever.”
“I urge Abba to continue the good work he has been doing and not allow himself to be distracted by his numerous detractors.”
“This is a deep conspiracy to destroy his career and it will not work.”
