Justice minister and attorney General of the Federation Abubakar Malami said he requested for further probe with a view to cover the field in investigation to arrive at an informed decision on disgraced and suspended cop Abba Kyari.

Mr Malami disclosed this in a statement by his media aide Umar Gwandu.

The Minister claimed there appeared to be a “misunderstanding regarding the issue.”

The statement explained, ”It was a case of work in progress in respect of which the office of the attorney general of the federation requested further probe in relation to some aspects of investigation. It was clear that the conclusion on the alleged contradiction on the issue was a clear case of misconception.”

It added, ”The office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice’s stance is that no conclusion has been reached in the direction of absence of evidence relating to the first report.

The U.S. government had indicted the disgraced cop in a multimillion-dollar fraud involving an Internet fraudster Hushpuppi.

He is also on trial for drug trafficking, following his arrest by the NDLEA.
