Embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari has been declared wanted by The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) over alleged links with an international drug cartel.
NDLEA’s spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, revealed this on Monday during a short press conference.
“Kyari initiated a call to one of the NDLEA officers in Abuja at 2:12 pm. When the officer returned the call two minutes later, Kyari informed him he was coming to see him, to discuss an operational matter after the Juma’at service.
“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.
“In the meantime, the purloined cocaine will be replaced with a dummy worth 15kg. He asked the NDLEA officer to persuade men of the FCT Command to play along as well.”
Femi Babafemi revealed that NDLEA has evidence linking Kyari to a drug cartel that operates the Brazil-Ethiopia-Nigeria illicit drug pipeline.
He said the former DCP needs to answer questions that came up in an ongoing drug case in which he is the principal actor.
Babafemi also went on to say that Abba Kyari’s refusal to cooperate with NDLEA has led to him being declared wanted.
Abba Kyari was the former officer-in-charge of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team until his suspension by the commission after a report by the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States of America had earlier indicted him in the case of fraud involving Hushpuppi.
