Controversial former Head of the Intelligence Response Team, DCP Abba Kyari, Saturday, attended the wedding of Maina, son of the incumbent Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba.
Brand News Day Nigeria understands that the wedding which was held in Maiduguri, Borno State, had in attendance, traditional rulers, governors, business mogul, Aliko Dangote; Senate President Ahmad Lawan; Aviation Minister, Hadi Sirika; popular socialite, Obinna Iyiegbu, otherwise known as Obi Cubana, amongst others.

After the well-attended event on Saturday, Kyari, who is also from Borno State and had been off social media for months, took to his verified Facebook page with over 450,000 followers to splash over 400 photos he took at the wedding.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation Special agent, Andrew Innocenti, had fingered that Ramon Abbas aka Ray Hushpuppi contracted the services of Kyari after a “co-conspirator,” Chibuzo Vincent allegedly threatened to expose the alleged $1.1m fraud committed against a Qatari businessman.
Innocenti, who said he ransacked the voice calls and WhatsApp conversations between Kyari and Hushpuppi, had also alleged that the latter paid the police officer N8m or $20,600 for the arrest and detention of Vincent.
Recall that DCP Kyari had taken to Facebook on July 29, 2021, to chronicle his denial against the allegations but he later deleted the post after editing about 12 times.
In turn, many Nigerians had trooped out en-mass to call for stern sanctions against Abba Kyari for his alleged conspiracy with a self-confessed fraudster like Hushpuppi.
In a similar vein, recalled that the IGP had on August 2, 2021, established the Special Investigation Panel headed by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of the Force Criminal Investigations Department, Joseph Egbunike, to probe the allegations levelled against Abba Kyari.
Egbunike on August 26, 2021, submitted the panel’s report, which he said: “is an outcome of a painstaking, transparent and exhaustive investigative process.”
He revealed that the report contained the case file of the probe, evidence and findings as well as testimonies from Kyari and other persons and groups linked to the matter.
The Minister of Police Affairs, Maigari Dingyadi, had on September 14, 2021, during a television interview said the findings and recommendations on Kyari had been submitted to the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), for “legal opinion” and thereafter for presentation to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), adding that the final decision would be taken by the PSC.
But months later, the PSC spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, told our correspondent that the commission had not received any disciplinary recommendations from the IG through the Force Disciplinary Committee almost six months after the Egbunike panel submitted its report to the police boss.
The recommendations of the FDC will inform the commission’s decision and also determine Kyari’s future in the force, but the matter is now inconclusive.
