A Federal High Court in Abuja has scheduled hearing for Friday in the extradition proceedings initiated against suspended Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Abba Kyari by the Federal Government.

Justice Inyang Ekwo chose the date on Thursday to enable the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) file a formal response to Kyari’s notice of primary objection challenging the competence of the extradition application filed by the AGF.

The AGF applied to the court for permission to surrender Kyari to authorities of the United States in relation to his alleged link with international fraud suspect, Abbas Ramon (aka Hushpuppi).
