(AFRICAN EXAMINER) – The Police Service Commission (PSC) has stated that they find it strange that a US Court would call for the arrest of a Nigerian living in Nigeria.

PSC on Saturday stated that it is yet to get a formal report on the allegations against Abba Kyari, a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP).

The Commissioner in charge of Media on the board of the PSC, Austin Braimoh, told The Nation that they would not be bound by the IG’s review of the allegations against Kyari.

“The PSC has no position on the allegations against DCP Abba Kyari for now.

“This is because no formal report is before the Commission on the officer. All we hear are mere allegations from media outlets. No constitutional body works with such. A formal report must come to the Commission from somewhere or someone. Besides, we heard that a United States Court either indicted or ordered his arrest. It sounds strange to me that a US court could order the arrest of a non-citizen, a Nigerian citizen resident in Nigeria.

“Nigeria is a sovereign nation with its laws and justice systems. We surely must be guided by our own Attorney General, and also guided by our own courts, internal investigations and to trust our justice system,” Braimoh said.
