The application marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/249/2022 was filed under the Extradition Act.
After months of refusing to turn the corrupt DCP over to the USA for prosecution, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami finally filed the application for his extradition to the US before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
According to the AGF, the application followed a request by the Diplomatic Representative of the U.S. Embassy in Abuja.
The request is “for the surrender of Abba Alhaji Kyari, who is a subject in a superseding three counts indictment.”
He said Kyari, “if surrendered, will not be prejudiced at his trial and will not be punished, detained or restricted in his personal liberty, by reason of his race, nationality or political opinions.”
