Hushpuppi: Reno Omokri reacts as police suspend Kyari

Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has reacted to the suspension of DCP Abba Kyari, the Head of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT).

The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, on Sunday recommended the suspension of Kyari pending the outcome of investigations.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, had linked Kyari to international fraudster Abass Ramon, popularly known as Hushpuppi.

Hushpuppi is alleged to have bribed Kyari to jail an errant gang member during a fraud deal worth millions of dollars.

However, a statement by Force spokesman, Frank Mba, said Kyari will remain out of service as the suspension will help the panel to carry out its investigations into the weighty allegations without interference.

Reno Omokri on his Twitter page commended the action taken by the IGP.

He said, “The suspension of Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari, by the IG of Police is a good first step. More needs to be done.

“The investigation needs to be thorough and devoid of ethnic and religious considerations. This is beyond Kyari. This is about Nigeria’s image.”
