Cocaine Deal: Abba Kyari Says NDLEA Officers Shipped Drugs To Nigeria

 

Abba Kyari has alleged that officers of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) have been assisting in the shipping of hard drugs to Nigeria.

Politics Nigeria reports that Kyari revealed this while filing for his N500 million fundamental rights suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/182/22.

Kyari also stated that he was ‘framed’ by a disgruntled officer of the agency after he went to demand compensation for the whistleblower that gave information that led to the arrest of a suspect by the Intelligence Response Team (IRT).

An affidavit filed by Kyari’s brother, Mamman Nur, repeated the claim, stating that drugs were being shipped in from Ethiopia with the ‘knowledge of NDLEA officers’.

Narrating the entire situation in the suit, Kyari stated; “That on that fateful day, the suspect as usual shipped drugs (cocaine) from Ethiopia to Enugu Airport.

"The officer of NDLEA cleared him within the airport, then an officer of FIB-IRT arrested the suspect with the help of information.

“That before the informant accepted to work with the officers of FIB-IRT, they both had an agreement to compensate the informant.

“That officers of FIB-IRT, having noticed that officers of NDLEA were the ones clearing the said suspect with his drugs (cocaine), they immediately took the suspect to NDLEA and also reported those officers involved in the act.

“That instead of the NDLEA to handle the matter accordingly and bring their officers involved to book, they decided to frustrate the informant, thereby refusing to compensate the informant.

“That it was at this juncture that the attention of the DCP Abba Kyari was called, who because the NDLEA officer involved is his friend, decided to intervene for the purpose of compensating the Informant.

“That the NDLEA officer who refused to compensate the informant was the one who framed DCP Abba Kyari up on a trump-up allegation that he was trying to bribe him.

“That the agent of the Respondent declared the Applicant wanted because of a mere allegation that he was trying to bribe an NDLEA officer without sufficient proof.

“That the Nigerian Police Force, based on the allegation of the Respondent arrested the Applicant on February 12, 2022, and handed over to the NDLEA.

Abba Kyari’s bail hearing comes up on March 28 at a federal high court in Abuja.
