Following his suspension by the Police Service Commission (PSC), the embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Abba Kyari is set to more trouble.
This is as the United States has requested for the pre-trial detention of the suspended head of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT).
The United States of America has asked that Abba Kyari be detained.
According to papers filed at the United State District Court for the Central District of California, the US government is entitled to detention hearing if the defendant risks fleeing.
The court papers sighted by ThisDay indicates that the documents signed by Acting US Attorney, Tracy Wilkinson and two other officials were filed on Thursday, April 29.
Meanwhile, Abba Kyari had deleted his infamous Facebook update in which he responded to his indictment in the United States with claims that he only assisted serial internet fraudster, Ramon ‘Hushpuppi’ Abbas, to get N300,000 clothes.
Kyari had taken to his Facebook hours in the wake of his indictment as announced by the U.S. Department of Justice on July 29, saying he barely knew Hushpuppi and imploring his supporters to disregard the allegations because he only helped the fraudster to get tailoring services.
The post had subsequently elicited thousands of derisive comments and further nailed the police chief as other evidences he could not deny began to pour in.
