Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja has struck out a suit instituted by the Federal Government, asking for the extradition of the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP, Abba Kyari to the United States of America.
The judge, in his judgment on Monday, ruled that the extradition request by the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, on behalf of the Federal Government had no merit and as a result stands dismissed.
The Federal Government had filed the extradition charges against Kyari to pave way for his extradition to America to answer fraud allegations.
Justice Ekwo, however, held that the Federal Government has no basis to file the extradition request having put Abba Kyari on trial in Nigeria in relation to the allegations against him in America.
