ABBA KYARI is an enigma
A detective who craves the limelight When a hard nut falls on our head We look to Abba Kyari to crack it. I must confess, After solving Evans
And helping to diagnose the Unknown gunmen, I will remain eternally grateful to Abba Kyari But these are not great times for him Hush Puppi's allegations against him are weighty
To help silence a criminal suspect who was turning whistleblower in a $1.1M fraud case is diabolical. To be named a potential suspect in an international yahoo yahoo enterprise by a US grand jury indictment of a confessing criminal suspect is dire.
But Huspuppi is a fraudster, so his allegations against one of our best police officers must be treated with suspicion.Abba has dismissed the allegations. If it's true that Hushpuppi transferred N300,000 only
Then its unlikely that money was meant to silence anyone ,
Anyone familiar with the police HQ would know that such a figure was probably a 'mobilization' for an arrest.
And such an arrest will happen when any bigman clean or unclean takes a complaint of threat to life to the police.
But Abba Kyari has said the money which was paid to a tailor's account was for a dress Hushpuppi ordered.
He said; Hush Puppi reported threats by One Mr Vincent. Vincent was arrested. Investigations revealed that Vincent and Hushpuppi were business partners and there were no credible threats. So Vincent was released.
The US grand jury indictment says that Abba sent Hushpuppi a picture of Vincent in detention. That was supposed to mean evidence of job done.We must await further investigations because if that was job done, N300,000 can't be the fee.
The said VINCENT is alive. I don't know what his words would be worth. But Abba wants him called up to testify.
It's a little messy. Our best cop can't be a friend of a character like hushpuppi without attracting to himself bad odour. By the nature of American plea deals Hushpuppi would be expected to sell out a few persons to get a better deal. So he has thrown Abba into the mix
Abbas' response hasn't been professional. Rather than a terse statement denying the accusation and welcoming thorough investigations he has borrowed from the playbook of politicians. He has been talking about haters. He has an abundance of haters even in the police force. That's what success and celebrity status breeds, but Abba must cease talking like a rockstar.
I love Abba Kyari because on the job he has shown dedication and imagination and displayed splendid results. But how he went from handling a false complaint to arranging dresses for an international fraudster that sent him on a wild lead has raised eyebrows.
One would like to know what story Vincent told Abba when he was arrested. My gut feeling is that if Abba didn't know whom Hushpuppi was then after Vincent he should have known.
But I don't want us to judge Abba harshly. It's one thing to lack a bit of discretion on whom you associate with. It's a totally different thing to aid a criminal syndicate silence a potential whistleblower.
Let's not confuse the two.
Let's allow the investigation tell the whole truth.
