The Police Service Commission, (PSC), has said it will determine the fate of the Commander of the IGP Intelligence Response and Monitoring Team, Abba Kyari, a deputy commissioner of police, indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for alleged involvement in a $1.1m Internet fraud.
The Commission also noted that Kyari might face dismissal or demotion, and criminal prosecution if found culpable in the fraud perpetrated by an Instagram influencer and fraudster, Ramon Abass, popularly known as Hushpuppi.
Speaking to newsmen on Friday, the Commissioner in-charge of Media on the board of the Commission, Austin Braimoh, said the PSC would not be bound by the IGs review of the allegations against Kyari, noting that the Commission would carry out a further probe on whatever findings the Police authorities made on Kyari.
Braimoh stated that the Commissions findings would determine Kyaris future in the Police force.
A Federal Bureau of Investigation, (FBI), criminal complaint lodged at the United States District Court in California had listed Hushpuppi and Kyari among six suspects indicted in the international fraud conspiracy.
The other suspects include AbdulRahman Juma (Abdul); Vincent Kelly Chibuzo (Kelly); Rukayat Motunrayo Fashola (Morayo); and Bolatito Tawakalitu Agbabiaka (Bolamide).
The IG has announced on Thursday that the Force would review the allegations against Kyari. Its spokesman, Frank Mba, did not respond to inquiries on the composition of the review panel and the deadline for the submission of its report.
