The National Drug Law enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has declared suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, wanted over alleged links of drug trafficking with an international drug cartel.
Babafemi Femi, the spokesperson for the NDLEA disclosed in a press conference that Abba Kyari is a member of drug syndicate which operates across the globe.
The NDLEA believes that the drug cartel operates the Brazil-Ethiopia-Nigeria illicit drug pipeline.
According to him, the NDLEA invited Abba Kyari for questioning on Thursday, February 10 but up till the close of office hours on Friday, February 11, he didn’t respond.
“Today, we are forced to declare one of such law enforcement agents wanted in the person of suspended DCP Abba Kyari, the erstwhile Commander of Intelligence Response Team (IRT) at the Force Intelligence Bureau of the Nigerian Police Force.
“With the intelligence at our disposal, the Agency believes strongly that DCP Kyari is a member of a drug cartel that operates the Brazil-Ethiopia-Nigeria illicit drug pipeline, and he needs to answer questions that crop up in an ongoing drug case in which he is the principal actor. His failure to cooperate forced the hand of the Agency and that is the reason for this press briefing.
Before his suspension, Abba Kyari was the officer-in-charge of the Inspector-General of the Police Intelligence Response Team.
Recall that a report by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States of America had earlier indicted him in the case of fraud involving an Instagram celebrity, Ramon Abbas, aka Hushpuppi.
