The Nigeria Police Force (NPF), in a report, uncovered that members of a syndicate led by an international scammer, Hushpuppi paid N235, 120, 000 to a younger brother of a former Commander, Intelligence Response Team, Abba Kyari.
In the report, Kyari was also said to have equally transferred N44 million to his brother’s bank account in multiple transactions.
The investigation report which was submitted to the Attorney-General of the Federation disclosed that a total of N279.120m flowed to the younger Kyari’s bank account at various times from the cyber scam syndicate members-Efe Martins (lead coordinator), Sikiru Adekoya, Usman Ibrahim, and Hussaini Ala.
The report read, “Sikiru Adekoya has many times received money from Hushpuppi and Efe and has equally transferred money to Usman Ibrahim. Adekoya after an initial denial of having any financial transaction with both Hushpuppi and Efe Martins eventually admitted receiving various sums of money through transfers into his GTBank.
“However, he could not offer reasonable explanations of what the sums were meant for and what he did with the monies. The network of Hushpuppi Internet fraud syndicate consists of Efe Martins as the lead coordinator who through his company, Efe Martins Integrated Concept Ltd., has at various times transferred different sums of money to Sikiru Adekoya, Usman Waziri Ibrahim, Hussaini Ala.
“A junior brother to DCP Kyari is a major beneficiary of funds from the Zenith Bank account of Hussaini Ala from where he at different times received various sums totaling N218, 120, 000. He also received the sum of N44 million in multiple transactions from DCP Abba Kyari.’’
At the moment, Kyari is poised to face criminal charges, as he’s undergoing grilling in the custody of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
Kyari’s links with an international drug cartel came to the fore at a time he’s being investigated for his relationship with Hushpuppi.
