We will call on the masses to resist Abba Kyari’s arrest warrant by U.S. govt — Shinkafi

By Benjamin Auta

Nigerians will come out in their numbers to resist the calls made by the United States government to arrest Mr Abba Kyari, Dr Suleiman Shinkafi has said.

He said the Nigeria government must resist all overtures by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)  for the arrest of Nigeria’s Abba Kyari, who was allegedly implicated in shody business by a fraudster popularly known as Hushpuppi.

Speaking to journalists on the matter, Dr Shinkafi who was a former political aide to a former Zamfara State Governor said that “it’s better to kill corrupt politicians in the country than surrender Abba Kyari to the US.”

“If not for him, the poor masses will be in a worse situation than they are now.  How will he accept money from people who are criminals?” he asked.

Dr Shinkafi, who is one of the northern elites said that the Mr Kyari has greatly helped in curbing criminality in Nigeria added that, “those alleging that he has done something wrong in fighting criminality are not Godfearing people.”

“He is a man of integrity who has sacrificed all his life not just for the oneness of the nation but law enforcement,”  he said.

He also said that the Federal Government must never surrender Mr Kyari as his arrest will not just cause mayhem in the country but other unforeseen problems.

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) allegations about him is supposed to be investigated by the Nigerian government only not another foreign power because his allegiance is to Nigeria not the USA,” he concluded.

Abba Kyari was recently declared wanted by the FBI after he was alleged to be implicated by a Nigerian internet fraudster Hushpuppi.

Mr Kyari had since denied the allegations stating that he is innocent of all charges levelled against him.
