Hushpuppi: 31 lawyers battle to defend Abba Kyari
At least thirty-one lawyers have thrown their weight behind Abba Kyari, the former commander of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team.
On Wednesday, the lawyers volunteered to render free legal services to Kyari currently facing allegations of corruption levelled against him by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States.
Recall that a U.S. court ordered the arrest of Kyari following investigations into a $1.1m fraud scheme by indicted Fraudster, Ramon Abbas aka Hushpuppi.
The spokesperson of the lawyers, Sunusi Bappah Salisu, in a statement said they volunteered to render free legal services for the preservation of Kyari’s fundamental rights.
He said the lawyers, who were drawn across all the 19 northern states and religions, also responded to the calls for support for Kyari by the Coalition of Northern Groups.
