Following the issue of a warrant for the arrest of Nigeria’s Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, in Nigeria, after he was indicted by Hushpuppi in a $1.1 Million case of money laundering, reactions have poured in from different angles if the United States of America have the right to commence the probe.
Here is a response from an undisclosed person which was shared by Dele Momodu.
“My take on the ABBA KYARI Brouhaha, let me know what you think brother.
My people, This Abba Kyari Saga is quite interesting in so many ways. It pretty much exemplifies who we are and what we are. Subjects of Imperial dominance !!!!”
“First let me say that in no way do I support, excuse or condone the acts if the allegations are true, it once again gives us Nigerians a black eye around the world. But that’s about it.
But Black eye or not, Let us look at this with keen eyes, understand the facts and ask the right questions.”
“Nigeria and Nigerians all over the world are in an uproar over this for no reason whatsoever, Embarrased? Yes but hey what’s new in that department. I am still wondering how they were able to get an arrest warrant or indictment against him here in the USA.”
“From all of my readings so far including the conversations with Hushpuppy, no where do I read that he was part of the conspiracy to defraud anyone or companies here the USA, he was not even a tiny, Itty Bity part of his fraudulent outfit.”
“1. What is he being accused of, OK, he accepted a BRIBE in another country, to do the bidding of a criminal and a fraudster, which may or may not be obvious to him. When did it become a crime in the USA for anyone who accepted a bribe from someone else ( Not an American Company or Citizen O) but from a Nigerian in Nigeria. Haba, Ki lo de!!!”
“2. If true, the proper thing to do here is to hand the findings and discovery to Authorities in the country where the said crime was committed to prosecute if they deem necessary or if it rises to a level of what they want to pursue.”
“3. When the did the FBI become the investigative arm of the Nigerian police force and under what Authority or law are they issuing an arrest warrant for him in the USA.”
“4.That Mr. Kyari is a corrupt member/officer of the NPF is none of their business if you ask me and because America/FBI says so does not necessarily make it true.”
“Please before we start to subjugate ourselves as we always do to American/ British Authorities we need to ask these questions of them.”
“There’s enough corruption and crime here in the USA to keep them busy than a mere…”
In another response, a had the following to say;
“The US cannot order or arrest a Nigerian citizen living in Nigeria,a sovereign nation….PSC“
“But Nigeria can arrest a British citizen in another Country ; and she is also presently fighting to arrest and extradite another German citizen in another country.“
What is your take on this? Does the United States of America have the right to probe Abba Kyari?
