Dingyadi who spoke at an interview session with the Channels TV said the allegations against Kyari has become an international matter, adding that the consideration of the president would be needed.

“We have also reported that the committee has submitted the report to the Inspector General of Police (IGP).

“We have also submitted this report and recommendations to the Attorney-General of the Federation for a legal opinion, thereafter, we will take it to Mr President for final consideration.
