Femi Falana, a Human rights lawyer and SAN, has said that the US government will get Abba Kyari, the embattled Nigerian police officer, to face trial whether he likes it or not.
Speaking during a Twitter Spaces conversation hosted by the rights advocate and community organiser Rinu Oduala, on Sunday 8th of August, the senior lawyer revealed that the Nigerian government which engaged in “gangsterism while dealing with secessionists wants to follow due process in Kyari’s case.”
Maintaining that the Nigerians should defend their rights and quit having the “God will judge” mindset, Falana made known that the federal government will be dragged to court over those who have been kidnapped.
He said;
“WHETHER ABBA KYARI LIKES IT OR NOT, THE AMERICANS ARE GOING TO GET HIM TO STAND TRIAL.
“WE WANT TO MAKE THE GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBLE AND ACCOUNTABLE, ANYBODY WHO HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED, THE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO HAVE PAID RANSOM TO HAVE THEM FREED.”
