The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had alleged that Hushpuppi contracted Kyari to detain a co-conspirator, Chibuzo Vincent, for threatening to expose the alleged $1.1m fraud committed against a Qatari businessman. The United States agency also said Hushpuppi paid $20,600 into a bank account provided by Kyari. Acting on the FBI's claim, the PSC suspended Kyari and set up a Special Investigation Panel (SIP) to probe his alleged involvement in the fraud. Kyari's case is now with the Force Disciplinary Committee (FDC), citing a senior official whose identity was not revealed as its source.

Giving an update on the case on Wednesday, October 27, the senior official reportedly explained that Kyari has responded to a query from the FDC, adding that the committee is expected to come up with recommendations based on his response and the facts contained in the SIP report. The fate of the embattled senior police officer is hanging in the balance as the PSC awaits the recommendations of the committee.
