Abba Kyari Cries Out

Suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Abba Kyari has cried out to Nigerians from Kuje prison.

Kyari lamented in a document presented to the Abuja Federal High Court by his lawyer, Nureini Jimoh.

The document reads in part: “At the centre, the applicants who were head and deputy head of the Intelligence Response Team of the Nigeria Police Force met stiff resistance, attack and open threats to the lives of the applicants by series head (sic) of criminal gang that they had busted.”

“There is no correctional centre that the criminals that have been arrested by the IRT under the headship of the applicant in furtherance of their constitutional and statutory duties as police officers cannot be found and there is a high likelihood of threat to the lives of the applicants.”

Recall that the court had ordered that Abba Kyari be remanded at Kuje Correctional Centre pending the conclusion of his trial.

For those who don’t know, Abba Kyari was arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on February 12 and was arraigned on March 7 over allegations of drug trafficking.
