All of a sudden in this country.., before our very eyes, the national police is turning into a fulani establishment. .. The same way the Custom service and the Army have become some fulani garrisons. . You are stopped somewhere at a checkpoint in Okigwe, deep inside Biafraland, and you are looking at these scraggy-looking lanky characters with alien tribal marks, all brandishing AK 47s while looking like wild characters from some schifi-fi blockbusters.. None of the people policing you looks like you... This is dangerous but Everybody is keeping quiet. Nobody seem ready to talk. They are taking over the air-force and though they only time they encounter the ocean is when they travel hundreds of kilometers down south, the sons of Danfodio are also desperate to corner the NAVY. This is dangerous and must be challenged. Unfortunately, we have some sophisticated serfs down south brandishing all kinds of gory arguments to excuse these acts of infamy.... Close your eyes and imagine what will happen in this country if it was the ubiquitous igbo that is holding the Customs service and the army on a choke-hold as the northerners have done.... The whole of Lagos would have been lured into endless marches from one funny square to the others all in a bid to challenge the 'over-sabi' igbos...

You no well.

caracas:
Was it by merit ?
Am sure the answer is no
Nija n nepotism are like 5 &6.
Useless country

If you have not heard of Abba Kyari(Former head of SARS)before,that means u be novice,even for the bad gangs and,cultist criminals,armed robbers the fear of Kyari is the beginning of wisdom.Kudos to Kyari,a gallant police officer,well deserved!!

MrMcJay:


Abba Kyari wasn't promoted by merit, right?

Your problem is not just that you're foolish, it is the fact that you're enthusiastic in your foolishness.

N your problem is exactly the problem of nija .
U don't know n u donot know that u donot know .
Fuuuul.

ACP at 41 years is not a good record for the NPF. The Force Headquarters should do a research to find out why officers are aged before attaining a certain rank. The military has younger officers in the senior cadre.

Meet Crime-Buster Abba Kyari: Nigeria's Real Life Jack Bauer(photos)
March 10th, 2016.

Everfrank:
In 2011, my car was snatched from me by robbers at gunpoint. That scary experience brought me face to face with and later close to one of Nigeria’s smartest serving police men alive. His soft voice, boyish look, gentle mien and calm disposition belie the lion heart, sharp instincts and intellect and ruthless efficiency of a master crime-buster. Call him Nigeria’s Jack Bauer (of the series 24 fame) and you will not be wrong.

Last weekend, not a few Nigerians were excited by the news of the rescue of the three kidnapped female students from Babington Seminary, Ikorodu, Lagos, and the arrest of the culprits. The man who cracked the horrible crime was none other than CSP Abba Kyari, OC IGP Intelligence Response Team (IRT), a position he was fittingly and deservedly given by the current IGP, Solomon Arase. Being a “Lagos Boy”, it was only natural that he was brought in to crack the case, and crack the case he did! Just like he found my stolen car back in 2011!

A 1997 Geography graduate of the University of Maiduguri, Abba grew up in Maiduguri, Borno State, where he attended Government Primary and Secondary Schools in Maiduguri. He did his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Akwa Ibom State in 1998 and joined the Nigeria Police Force as Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police in 2000. 16 years after, he has earned for himself the reputation of a diligent, no-nonsense and intelligence officer, such that the police authorities and politicians are proud to have and work with. And from get go, he demonstrated to his bosses that he knew why he joined the force, and has kept at it.

After completing his training in the Police Academy WudilKano, Kyari was posted to Adamawa State where he served in Song, Girei and Numan Local Government Area with remarkable successes in crime bursting. He stood out when he led the arrest of a notorious armed robber called, ‘Ndagi’ a.k.a Spirit. Spirit held Numan, the third biggest town in Adamawa State hostage for several years before his eventual arrest. From then, there was no looking back for this intelligent officer with a sharp investigative mind and sometimes deadly courage.

Kyari joined the Police Mobile Force, popularly known as Mopol in 2005 and was there for about five years until his posting to Lagos Command October in 2010. He was deployed as the second in command (2/IC) to SARS and later became the OC SARS on January 15, 2011. It was said that the then Governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola, who decorated him with several awards, resisted ceaseless attempts by the Police high Command to have Kyari redeployed out of Lagos. This was on account of his amazing achievements in combating the menace of armed robbery and kidnapping in Lagos.

Kyari has a long litany of exploits under his belt. He was instrumental in the arrest of the most notorious armed robber in the South West, Mr. Abiodun Egunjobi, otherwise known as Godogodo. Godogodo was arrested in Ibadan, Oyo State, with some of his gang members. SARS recovered 42 AK47 rifles from the gang. Godogodo confessed to have killed over 150 Nigerians, including over 50 policemen during his 10 years reign as the kingpin of South West armed robbers.

There was also the arrest of Benjamin Osinachi a.k.a China and his entire gang of kidnappers based in Ghana, but operated in Nigeria. Their victims included a sitting High Court Judge, a sitting local government chairman, many expatriates, amongst others. China and his gang members held South West residents by the jugulars for long. But Kyari with his men, were said to have deployed, “Advanced Technology and brought the kidnappers down.” Several AK47 rifles and thousands of ammunitions were recovered from the gang.

The defeat of Mr. Andrew and his gang of deadly kidnappers in Igando area of Lagos metropolis was spearheaded by Kyari and his men. SARS recovered 12 AK47 rifles, GPMGs and rocket launchers from the gang. Also during his tenure in Lagos, SARS arrested Chinansa and gang in the Ajangbadi area of Lagos. The SARS men recovered 11 AK47 rifles, rocket launchers and GPMGs from them.

There was also the shocking arrest of the General Overseer of a church located at Ejigbo. The General Overseer was part of the gang of robbers that attacked the Murtala Muhammed International Airport. The gang was later discovered to have operated at Ogun, Kwara and Rivers States. When they were eventually arrested, police recovered five AK47 rifles and GPMGs.


Kyari was also instrumental in the arrest of the kidnappers of former Minister of Finance, Dr. Okonjo Iweala’s mother. The kidnappers used to operate in Delta, Edo and Port Harcourt. This gang killed the former deputy Governor of Anambra State and kidnapped the wife of a sitting Supreme Court Judge.

Kyari and his men also arrested the kidnappers that abducted Dangote’s cousin. Another gang that kidnapped a British citizen, Mr. Dickson Lee, along the International Airport Road, was also defeated. The Briton was kidnapped moments after landing in Nigeria. There was the arrest of Obinna in Onitsha. Obinna was the most notorious sponsor and kingpin of robbers who specialized in hijacking trailers carrying containers. SARS has also in its feather, the arrest of Emmanuel aka Arab. Arab and his gang members were described as deadly. 12 AK 47 rifles, including four AK47 rifles belonging to Policemen they killed during bank robbery in Kwara State were recovered from them. Kyari and his men led the rescue of a young Kwara female model in Delta State. The policeman and his men also led in the rescue operation of Alhaji Fashola, owner of Kings Petroleum in Isheri Oshun, Lagos.

Lagos residents cannot forget the arrest of the nanny who kidnapped three boys belonging to same parents. The kids were called ‘the Orekoyas kids’. The nanny was arrested within three days that the case was transferred to Kyari and his men. Few days before Kyari got his posting letter to Abuja, he led the arrest of Lekki armed robbers who attacked the First City Monument Bank (FCMB). They killed three policemen and a girl who was hawking fish, carted away money and escaped through the waterways.

Splintered members from the Lekki bank robbery gang recently attacked banks at Ijede and Ogolonto areas of Ikorodu, Lagos. They escaped, as usual, through the waterways and Kyarideployed his Technology and arrested four of the Ikorodu bank robbers.

Kyari has received a lot of awards to mark his achievements. But to mention a few; there’s the IGP Commendation Award for Courage 2012, 2013, 2014. Governors Award for Gallantry, Leadership and Service excellence 2011, 2012, 2013. There’s Commissioner of Police Commendation Award for Courage 2011. Best Anti- Crime Police Officer in West Africa from Security Watch Africa, Star Award from CRAN 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

A very shy guy, Abba wouldn’t talk about his work and how he does it, but his men and people who have come across him would attest to the fact that his best attribute is that he sees himself as a Team Leader and not a boss in the discharge of his duties and co-ordination of men and resources to fight crime and criminals. One of his boys told me that” “OC is a whiz kid. He is too much. He understands technology and uses it to track down criminals. Also, he is a leader. He motivates us his men. We eat and drink with him. He attends our weddings, birthdays and naming ceremonies of our children and funeral of our relatives. In short, he is like a brother to us and leads from the front. He is always there for us and even teaches us how to key into technology while doing our work. In short, the OC is wonderful.”

So, here’s a brilliant officer who is also a great leader, who is ever ready to learn and teach others so the war against crime and criminals may succeed. No wonder the Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode, like his predecessor, was full of praises for Abba Kyari as he broke the news to Lagosians of the rescue of the three female students and the arrest of their kidnappers. He couldn’t be headed anywhere else but the top having stayed on top of his game from the moment he joined the Police.

Very useful Policeman. One of the best around

only the best for now.

Sealeddeal:
Police officer addressed as ALHAJI?
It will not be well with this country again.
" I will leave this country Nigeria and go back to my Ondo state

may dry thunder strike u thin if you're an igbo man.say amen

I knew he would come from born to rule region. They are preparing him for the next inspector general of police. I can bet with my life that there are more qualified, more competent, more hardworking and younger police officers who deserve even better but they are unfortunate to come from the southern part of Nigeria or may be are christians. mark my words Nigeria will continue to be in the doldrum as long as some people think it is their birthright to rule over others even when they are the least competent.

frankobaba:
41 years na Young?

Na so, auntie. To get to that rank, no be yam. Many officers I've known were retired happily at the rank of ACP due to either old age or attainment of the conditionally mandated retirement age.

Arewa celebrate you. All Ordinary Nigerians celebrate you...


wait o...so Arewa is super-ordinary?

OP...you are crazy!!!


meanwhile...hw can official documents be flying around like this on social media?

The northernisation by Buhari continues.

they said Youngest . not young and does not even mean young. it simply mean his age among the people in that class or group is the smallest .

41 years na Young?

You obviously don't know this guys profile, you should have googled him before making your comments.
A brilliant and fearless Officer, he practically took out criminals in lagos during his stay at SARs
Well deserved. Can't wait for him to become IG, a true officer

i also asked about him from some officers of the NPF and i was told the man even used his own personal money to train himself in modern surveillance tecnology.

Well deserved promotion. Meet our future IGP.

nickxtra:
Congrats bros. Men like you will make the Police a better organization. Thumbs up big bros

Because he's young? I don't get it. You and i know next to nothing about the guy and here you are hailing him. Nigerians are so easily dazzled. Smh.

I sincerely think u are the one with a bleeped up cranium and one suffering from an undiscovered mental defect.
You should have proved him wrong rather than settling with insults. It tells the kind of lopsided character you are.

The mods should ban u for those outright insulting words. U need a dogtag!

MrMcJay:

Your problem is not just that you're foolish, it is the fact that you're enthusiastic in your foolishness.

super cop.....those who know him can attest.

So if he was addressed as a Mr; that will be okay by you?

My dear if he were a Pastor and it's included in his official documentation he will be addressed as such.

Let's not be myopic in our criticism but your last statement suggest you are only poking fun

fkdmods:

That is my view and opinion of him, pls let out your own. Its free

Moreover, if you dont know anything about him does not mean another person does not. He is not a ghost, mind u

Yes, and very soon they will also take over your village - so what!

However, if you had cared to take off the tribal prism from your eyes you would have noticed that it is a strategic policy of the police to maintain a balanced mix between indigenous and non-indigenous officers in favour of the latter; much similar to (but not to the degree) of the posting of corpers to different areas not of their origin.

Drop the bigotry, it might help you reason more intelligently.

This is a real HIGH FLYER!

Potential IGP in the making. This guy deserves it for sure! Some people will NOT understand

Without examination u can progress some agencies even quota system will still be used to cheat again.

Nice one buddy

[color=#006600][/color]My dear, if he is the same guy that led the team that stopped the bombing of 3rd mainland bridge, he 'over-deserves' it abeg. Let's forget about sentiments and face the fact.
