Kyari was declared wanted on Monday for allegedly engaging in drug pushing.
NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, disclosed this during a press briefing at the agency’s office in Abuja.
The court had declared Mr Kyari wanted to answer allegations of complicity in the $1.1 million bribe fraud perpetrated by a popular fraudster, Ramon Abbas aka Hushpuppi. “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.
Mr Babafemi said Mr Kyari offered to pay the NDLEA and the FCT Commander of the Nigerian police by selling part of the drugs on their behalf.
