In a statement by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, the civil rights advocacy group said it was a known fact that the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation had requested that Kyari be tried in America for his role in an alleged internet fraud involving Ramon Abbas aka Ray Hushpuppi.
It noted that a few hours later, the media revealed that the NDLEA had since last Monday filed eight counts against Kyari before a Federal High Court and he would be arraigned on March 7. HURIWA alleged that, “the AGF and some northern political forces must be on a conspiratorial mission because as long as Kyari is facing charges in Nigeria, he cannot be extradited to the U.S. based on the Extradition Treaty between Nigeria and the United States.”
HURIWA added: “Apparently, it would seem that either that the AGF is not even aware that NDLEA, which is an agency under his Ministry had filed charges or he knew and he still authorised filing of extradition application even when aspects of the Extradition Treaty between Nigeria and U.S. says no extradition will happen if the accused person is facing same or another charge or charges at the time of filing the extradition application.
