The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has demanded a forensic investigation of the FBI allegations against the Commander, IGP Intelligence Response Monitoring Team, DCP Abba Kyari.
This was contained in a statement issued on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, titled ‘Abba Kyari: PDP Demands Full Investigation.’
The statement partly read in part, “Our party demands that the APC administration should not sweep this matter under the carpet given the manifest rapport between Kyari and some top APC leaders. We urge President Buhari not to ‘ease out’ this case of corruption but should immediately restore the integrity and image of our nation by allowing for a forensic investigation on the suspect.”
However, refuting the claims by Hushpuppi, Kyari on Thursday took to his official Facebook page and said no money was paid to him.
He said, “Abbas who we later came to know as Hushpuppi called our office about two years ago that somebody in Nigeria Seriously threatened to kill his family here in Nigeria and he sent the person’s phone number and pleaded we take action before the person attacks his family.

“We traced and arrested the suspect and after investigations, we discovered there wasn’t an actual threat to anyone’s life and they are long-time friends who have money issues between them hence we released the suspect on bail to go and he was not taken to any jail.
“Nobody demanded a kobo from Abbas Hushpuppi. Our focus was to save people’s lives that were purported to have been threatened,” Kyari said.
Kyari claimed that Hushpuppi once admired some of his outfits uploaded on social media and sent N300,000 to his tailor to design the same outfit for him.
He maintained that he did not receive the money directly as it was sent to his tailor but the clothes were picked up from his office.
