Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has advised Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari to travel to the United States Courtroom to file and defend a counter-affidavit to the accusation of bribery against him by alleged internet fraudster Ramon ‘Hushpuppi’ Abbas.
HURIWA said: “The United States of America is an organised Constitutional democracy where the Rule of Law is supreme. So if a crime suspect makes an affidavit accusation under Oath against you, it doesn’t need to be disclaimed in the local media here.
“What is the best thing to do even before the Federal Bureau of Investigation uses the services of the INTERPOL to hunt you down, as someone who is sure that his conscience is clear, is to take the next available flight to Washington DC or New York to connect to the Courtroom then use a legal representation to file and defend yourself through affidavit evidence to counter what you think is a tissue of falsehood.
It added: “Trust Abba Kyari to clear his name of the allegations instead of just letting him employ the pages of news media to try to exculpate or exonerate himself from an allegation that is lawfully filed before a United States Court. This allegation is heavy and it has been filed in the Court of law and not in the court of public opinion.
“We in the organised Civil Rights body think that as someone who has claimed to have a good conscience, the best way forward is to immediately and voluntarily travel to the American Court to prove the allegation wrong.
Hushpupi was arrested in Dubai last June and pleaded guilty to fraud in the U.S. this week.
The FBI said Messrs Abbas and Kyari have been friends and were both involved in a conspiracy to launder money.
Kyari was also accused of receiving bribes from Abbas to arrest a member of the syndicate in Nigeria.
