The relevant section as per the Abba Kyari case is Article 3(22) which has to do with bribery, defined to be the offering, giving, or receiving of bribes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis treaty mandates that a person found in one country for trial should be surrendered to another country for trial and punishment. The process is regulated by a treaty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Giving the second reason, he noted that there are certain circumstances in which the United States may apply domestic laws abroad. \u201cIn essence, the United States may give an extraterritorial effect involving certain specified cases which cover the present case,\u201d he informed.<\/p>\n<p>Abba Kyari: Why US is out to expose Buhari\u2019s govt \u2013 Bamgbose<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndeed, extraterritorial jurisdiction, as the concept is known, is increasingly used by the United States to prosecute both US citizens living and working abroad, as well as foreign nationals who have no connection with the United States. In the case of RTR Nabisco, Inc. vs The European Community 136, S.Ct.2090(2016), the Supreme Court held unanimously that Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisation(RICO) could apply to criminal actions occurring outside the United States.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe summary of it all is that the order by United States District Court in California is in order. DCP Abba Kyari should not, however, be abandoned by the Federal Government. He is one of the finest corps Nigeria has ever produced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have consulted with about three notable law firms in the United States to give me a legal opinion on what can be done to formidably defend Abba Kyari. We can\u2019t give him up without a fight. This is not the best time to crucify Abba Kyari but to find a way out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Federal Government should find a diplomatic way to resolve the issue. The rules must be followed. Abba Kyari is deemed innocent until proven guilty,\u201d the lawyer said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
