On Thursday, The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded an investigation into the alleged connection between a popular internet fraudster, Ramon Abbas, and a Nigerian deputy commissioner of police, Abba Kyari.
The opposition party made the demand in a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, on Thursday in Abuja.
A U.S. court fingered Mr. Kyari, who is the head of Nigeria’s police intelligence response unit, as one of the receivers of Mr. Abbas’ fraud proceeds.
Information Nigeria recalls how the accused, popularly called Hushpuppi, pleaded guilty to the multiple fraud charges leveled against him by the U.S government.
The PDP cautioned Buhari-led’s administration against treating the case with disdain as it borders on the integrity of Nigeria.

The party accused the APC of lowering the country below the integrity benchmark, fight against corruption and fraudulent practices.
“Our party demands that the APC administration should not sweep this matter under the carpet given the manifest rapport between Kyari and some top APC leaders. We urge President Buhari not to ‘ease out’ this case of corruption but should immediately restore the integrity and image of our nation by allowing for a forensic investigation of the suspect.
“Moreover, if this Abba Kyari matter is not well handled, it will be a permanent stain on the reputation of our police, security system, and our nation at large.
“The PDP, therefore, asks President Buhari to direct the Inspector General of Police to take in Abba Kyari for questioning and if found culpable, he should be handed over to the FBI,” the statement said.
