The federal government has decided to extradite Abba Kyari
I welcome the idea of extradition of wanted criminals
But I disagree with the decision to surrender Abba Kyari to the Americans
Abba Kyari is not a big politician who might be too strong for the arms of justice here
This government should have prosecuted Abba Kyari and imprisoned him in Gashua
To surrender a top security agent who committed many offences in our country to a foreign nation for trial and punishment is to display inferiority complex
American will never surrender an indicted FBI agent to Nigeria for prosecution.
We must all the least pretend go have some dignity
Abba Kyari committed all the offences in this country. And if diligently prosecuted he would be easily co voted and handed a severe custodial sentence
But we have decided to send him to the Americans
So that we don’t make them angry.
I won’t discuss Dieziani
Because I don’t want to make the argument that we should emulate evil.
But
Only a Banana Republic will send its security chief, who committed multiple criminal infractions within it’s territory, to another country for prosecution.
Abba Kyari should be a local public lecture material.
A cautionary tale for outstanding public officers against greed and hubris
