The embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, has claimed that members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Eastern Security Network (ESN) are behind his travails due to the onslaught launched against them in the South East.

Kyari was said to have made this claim when he appeared before a probe panel led by Joseph Egbunike, a Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG) at the Force Headquarters.

His claim was contained in a report submitted by the panel to the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, which was in turn submitted to the Police Service Commission (PSC).

According to the report, Kyari, who did not deny violating social media rules of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), was berated by the panel for the fact that the officer had been warned against the same practice previously.

“It is a campaign to smear his reputation by members of IPOB/ESN who vowed to destroy him, due to his onslaught against them in the South East,” the embattled ‘super cop’ was quoted to have said in the report.

But the panel, which faulted his claim, saying it is watery, ordered his demotion from the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police to Assistant Commissioner of Police.

Efforts to reach the Police Service Commission to find out whether it has finally jettisoned the report submitted to it on Abba Kyari last year by the Force Headquarters proved abortive.

Several calls made across to the mobile phone of the commission’s spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani were unanswered, neither did he respond to a text message sent to him.

Similarly, the acting spokesman of the Nigeria Police Force, Muyiwa Adejobi, did not answer calls nor responded to text messages when Daily Trust sought clarifications on the allegations that the force wants to protect Kyari, moreso, to know how far the Force has gone with the deadline of two weeks given to it by the PSC.

Meanwhile, the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, and members of the Force Management Team, on Wednesday visited the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, in his office at the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Abuja.

The reason for his visit, according to a senior officer, was not unconnected with Kyari’s case but the Force in a statement said the visit was aimed at solidifying the synergy between the Police and the Judiciary as key players in the Criminal Justice System of the nation with a view to ensuring a smooth and efficient dispensation of justice.

FreeStuffsNG:
Arrant nonsense!! I will only take this claim serious if the investigators are willing to investigate if there is actually drug deals between him and the ipob terrorists.

That is the nexus worth investigating.

How did drugs suddenly flood the SE and could their terrorist killings, including the subsequent drafting in of the disgraced cop be a charade or decoy or an all out vicious drug wars where he was drafted in by one camp to kill the other drug camp members same way he allegedly handled dirty jobs for Hushpuppi?

Abba Kyari, an alleged corrupt drug-dealing Northerner from Boko Haram-ravaged Borno, may just be the part of missing link to resolving the destruction unleashed by the ipob terrorists on the once peaceful SE .

Alll these nairaland ipob terrorists and ipob terrorist sympathizing trolls are ignorant pawns in a drug war or/and mules in the drug business.
Chai! How did SE get it so wrong like this? Where are the parents, religious and traditional leaders and good women and men of conscience of Igbo land? How did you all go to sleep all at once like this? Wow!!!It is drug war that is destroying your land!!Nothing more. NDLEA just proved it.

It is safe to assume now that there is no seccession campaign but vicious drug wars and Abba Kyari was part of the whole destruction The ipob terrorist attack on Lagos was equally part of the game plan!
Ha!!DSS should have seen all these coming. But for that Patriotic NDLEA officer and a patriotic Gen. Marwa (Rtd) these unpatriotic elememts do not mind setting Nigeria on fire because of their illicit drug business . It is all drug war!! Thank God for NDLEA.



All the enemies of Nigeria, ipob terrorists, Ipob terrorist leader and their collaborators in uniforms and politics are being exposed and being disgraced.

All the enemies will lose las las. They always lose. May God bless all our patriots and may God bless Nigeria forever.
