20 Aug Court Rejects Order Seeking To Restrain Arrest, Extradition Of DCP Abba Kyari
Justice Ahmed Mohammed of the Federal High Court in Abuja has rejected an ex-parte application for an order restraining the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) from arresting and extraditing suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Abba Kyari.
Justice Mohammed, in a ruling on Thursday, said he was not inclined to granting the relief sought in the ex-parte motion.
He ordered that the ex-parte motion should be converted to a motion on notice and served same, along with the originating processes, on the respondents –the NPF and AGF.
The motion ex-parte was filed by a group, the Incorporated Trustees of the Northern Peace Foundation through their lawyer, Kayode Ajulo.
Ajulo, while moving the motion on Thursday, said his client has also filed originating processes in relation to substantive suit.
The Plaintiff is, in the substantive suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/854/2021, querying the propriety of the alleged threat to arrest and extradite Kyari in relation to his indictment by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States.
Kyari was indicted by a U.S. court as a conspirator in a $1.1 million fraudulent deal against Hushpuppi.
