LEAVE ABBA KYARI ALONE

It is no longer news that the celebrated super cop and head of Intelligence response team, Abba Kyari, has been suspended by the Police Service Commission to pave way for investigation of alleged complicity with internet fraudster, Hushpuppi. Abba Kyari is being accused by the US Federal Bureau of intelligence (FBI) for aiding or abetting fraud involving Hushpuppi and Qatari business man. Since the time the sad news broke, many Nigerians have aired their views in support of or against Kyari. For several Nigerians DCP Kyari is being persecuted for refusing to dance to the tune of some vested powerful interest, hence his current troubles. Being one of his ardent supporters who is convinced by his numerous performance in crimes bursting and in apprehending high-profile suspects, Kyari should not be allowed to face persecution in his country that he serves with dedication and passion.

There is nothing wrong for suspending and investigating him. The whole uproar generated by the unfortunate saga is based on mere allegation by FBI. By suspending him, the Inspector General of Police has done the right thing to save the image of the force. If Kyari is finally found wanting, he should be punished according to the laws of the land. The US government should also know that Nigeria is a sovereign entity with set of laws fully enacted to punish offenders.
