The four-man panel was headed by the Deputy Inspector -General of Police in charge of the Force Criminal Investigations Department, Joseph Egbunike. It was gathered that the panel submitted its findings to the IG on Monday.

Following investigations into Hushpuppi activities, the FBI alleged that Kyari detained Chibuzor at the behest of Hushpuppi for one month to enable the latter and his co-conspirators to fleece their Qatari victim of over $1m.

As a result, the IG on August 1, recommended the suspension of the Kyari to the Police Service Commission, with effect from July 31.

The IG thereafter, set up the SIP to investigate the allegations against the suspended DCP.

It was learnt that during sittings of the panel, Kyari appeared several times. Kyari, however, dismissed the allegations of conniving with Hushpuppi to defraud the Qatari businessman.
