The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, on Thursday said he had not received any formal request demanding the extradition of a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Mr Abba Kyari, regarding his indictment by a US court.
The US court had earlier in the year indicted Kyari of being a conspirator in a $1.1 million fraud deal involving Instagram celebrity Ramon Abbas, better known as Hushpuppi.
Updating on the matter on Thursday, the IGP said he had only heard it on social media, reiterating that there was never any extradition request as some have claimed.
He said the panel set up to investigate the case had submitted its report to the Secretary General of the Federation (SGF) Boss Mustapha for vetting and advice on the findings.
According to the IGP, the Force has only just received feedback from the SGF and is contemplating the next step to take.
A US magistrate judge, Otis Wright, had issued a warrant for the arrest of Kyari following his indictment.
The update by the IGP is the latest on the controversial matter.
