A new panel headed by Barr. Tijani Mohammed, Director, Department of Police Discipline in the commission has been established to investigate Abba Kyari. Meanwhile, Kyari met an investigative panel set up by the IGP, Mohammed Adamu, and led by the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Joseph Egbunike.
