NDLEA said Mr Kyari, the disgraced police detective wanted in the U.S., is a member of a drug cartel that operates the Brazil-Ethiopia-Nigeria illicit drug pipeline.
has declared suspended Deputy Police Commissioner, Abba Kyari, wanted, for aiding and abetting drug pushing.The declaration by the NDLEA comes a few months after the former police intelligence unit commander was indicted in an internet fraud case by a US court.
The agency also added that he had refused to cooperate with them, hence the reason for their declaration.TEXT OF PRESS BRIEFING BY THE NATIONAL DRUG LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY, NDLEA, ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2022. Unfortunately, some law enforcement agents who should be partners in the pursuit of the President’s mandate are at the forefront of breaking the law, as they aid and abet drug trafficking in the country.
He appeared at the agreed venue of the meeting with the officer and went straight to the crux of the matter. This was it: His team had intercepted and arrested some traffickers that came into the country from Ethiopia with, according to him, 25kg of cocaine. He proposed a drug deal whereby he and his team are to take 15kg of the cocaine and leave 10kg for the prosecution of the suspects arrested with the illicit drug in Enugu.
At this point, Kyari disclosed that the 15kg was shared between the informants that provided information for the seizure and he and his men of the IRT of the Nigerian Police. According to him, the informants were given 7kg while his team took 8kg which was already sold. He then offered to pay the NDLEA team by selling, on their behalf, half of the remaining 10kg, thereby further reducing the original cocaine for the prosecution to just 5kg.
It is disheartening to hear him say of this rogue team, and I quote: “I do take good care of them, and this kind of work is done by only that team.”
