Abba Kyari, 46, is the deputy commissioner of police in Nigeria, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations was ordered on Wednesday to bring him to court after details emerged he had played a role in the scam.
Kyari was named by Ramon Abbas, a Nigerian online influencer also known as Hushpuppi. Abbas had appeared in a US court as the kingpin in the case. He was arrested in Dubai and repatriated to the US earlier this month.
