A Nigerian police boss has recommended that Abba Kyari, a deputy commissioner of police, indicted by American authorities for alleged involvement with a $1m fraud be suspended.
DCP Kyari was indicted by a suspected fraudster, Ramon Olorunwa Abbas, also known as Hushpuppi, standing trial for internet fraud in the U.S.
Inspector-General of Usman Alkali Baba made the recommendation to the Police Service Commission in a July 31 letter.
