Suspended Commander of the Intelligence Response Team, IRT, DCP Abba Kyari, who is remanded in the custody of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, over his involvement in a 25kg cocaine deal, has refused to officially respond to the query issued him by Force Headquarters.

This is even as the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, yesterday, threatened to strike out the N500 million fundamental right enforcement suit Kyari filed against the Federal Government.

It was gathered that the embattled detective was handed the query while in NDLEA’s custody, close to a month ago.

Rather than answer the query, sources told Vanguard that Kyari said he could not write from where he was.

“That alone is a reply to the query. He stated that he could not write from where he was. He said when he gets out, he would officially answer the query, as he was not in the right frame of mind to answer officially,” a source said.


Court threatens to strike out his N500m suit against FG

Meanwhile, the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has threatened to strike out the N500 million fundamental right enforcement suit Kyari filed against the Federal Government.
He had before his arraignment on March 7, instituted the legal action to challenge his arrest and detention by the NDLEA.

The applicant, among other things, is praying the court to order the FG to pay him N500 million and also tender written apology to him in two national dailies for the unlawful violation of his fundamental human rights.

Meanwhile, at the resumed proceedings in the matter, yesterday, the NDLEA, through its Director, Prosecution and Legal Services, Mr. Joseph Sunday, told the court that he was just served a further affidavit by Kyari’s lawyer, Cynthia Ikenna.

Sunday noted that the agency served its counter-affidavit on the applicant since February 24.

He argued that going by rules of the court, the applicant filed the further affidavit out of time.

Responding, Kyari’s lawyer, prayed the court for a short adjournment to enable her to regularize her processes.

Before he adjourned the matter till April 7, Justice Inyang Ekwo warned that he would strike out the matter for lack of deligent prosecution.

Justice Ekwo said: “If on next date you are not ready, I will strike out the matter. Put your house in order before the date of hearing.

“If you have an excuse not to be here on that date, I will take it that you are out to frustrate this matter and I will strike it out.”

Kyari had in his suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/182/22, accused the NDLEA of assisting drug peddlers to ship in cocaine into the country, alleging that a corrupt officer of the agency framed him up after he went to demand for compensation for a whistleblower that gave information that led to the arrest of a suspect by the Police Intelligence Response Team, IRT.

He told the court that the said suspect had been shipping cocaine into the country from Ethiopia, using all the airports, “with the knowledge of the NDLEA officers”.

In an affidavit deposed to by one Muhammad Nur Usman, who identified himself as his younger brother, Kyari told the court that NDLEA officials usually cleared the drug baron “and even escort him from the airport to his destination”.

Narrating the circumstance that led to his present ordeal, Kyari, said: “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 officer of FIB-IRT arrested the suspect with the help of an 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.”

He maintained that his continued detention amounted to an infringement on his fundamental human rights.

Corrupt country..
Corrupt force..
Corrupt citizens..
Corrupt unborn kids..

This is how they will keep running around without doing the necessary...
What a pity that Nigeria is heading to doom on a daily basis while the citizens are smiling and insulting themself online..later they blame the west for their misfortune while their leader are milking them daily on a steady..

I hope they recover from this calamity..

na wa o

Ok

Who cares?

hand never touch am,it's so unfortunate

Ok

He is bigger than the force. That's what happens in an environment where insubordination is allowed.
This same man enjoys influence even up to the first lady who awarded him. Who then is the IGP to qwerry him.
I am sure he has been assured of release by the powers that be hence he wears starched clothes to court everyday while his wife acts drama along the wayside. He even cause nuisance inside NDLEA custody after all he is worth 4.2bn.
Who knows he may be inviting whores inside NDLEA custody to cushion his stress.

HOWEVER
EVANS a fellow billionaire criminal is waiting for him in kirikiri.

We won't let this slide. Abba kyari must be jailed.

They're just wasting tax payers resources keeping this guy in prison. The prison food and housing is a waste of our resources.


There's free feeding and lodging awaiting him in US.

Just do the needful.

levantics:
Okay

Getaaaaat

Make una close this case.


E brotherx na the ogas at the top... stop deceiving the public

I am getting tired of the Kyari's case.

He should be made to respond to the query under duress ... Let him have a taste of his own medicine

Burn in hell all sons and daughters of iniquity

Fulani owns Nigeria so nothing will happen to him. A mere look at Malami's lips will tell you that he is into drugs.

My comments all these years on matters like this have not yielded any result, so I have no comment to make.

Abba is a goner......
What a shame!

The indictment/revelation of the involvement of Abba Kyari, the head of Nigeria's Intelligence Response Unit as a receiver of proceeds of international fraud popularly known as Yahoo Yahoo is worrisome and highly dents the image of our police and entire security architecture.
We do feel he has a case to answer,
He should come out to quickly clear his name if he is not guilty.
Cos what kinda play is a dog playing with a Lion?(Yoruba Proverbs by Sisi Yewande of @.)

And surely this won't be the first or the last names to be mentioned in this fraudulent case,
More case will definitely emerge in coming days.
And for the ones that are saying it was HushBingo that mentioned/rat Abba out, nope, he wasn't the one, the FBI just did their job and got the alleged information.

As we always make known on this forum on a weekly basis,
That all fraudsters stealing hardworking and innocent citizen's money through dubious means will never end well in life.
As we always point out that legit hustle is the way to a good life that will make you have peace of mind.
We always preach it that Fraud will bring reproach to your family.

Abba Kyari we love you as a good cop.
We love you for bringing to an end the reign of all the bad guys in this nation, from the baddest kidnapper in the history of Nigeria, to terrorists, to high end armed robbers and criminals,
Yes, we love and thank you all for all these good works,
But for this indictment and juxtaposition with fraud and drugs,
You will answer and pay for your crimes.
No hidden place for you supercop (sic)

The hunter have become the hunted.Use the extraction by punishment method for him as he has used it on others.

Why are the authorities wasting time on this fraudster and drug trafficker. When the evidences are there I wonder what is stalking these processes. The drug peddler is now fighting rough by fingering NDLEA. And foolish people on this forum are believing him without no evidence.
He did not want to answer any query yet he was in the right frame of mind when he chose to do business with hushpuppy and was caught red-handed dealing in drugs.
Maybe his bosses in force headquarters told him not to answer their query

Let's go

Abba might be bigger than the IG with his connections... I'm sure the police is threading with care to avoid implicating many senior officers.

Karma is dealing with Abba Kyari

All the innocent souls he wasted are fighting him

There is no easy way out for him

He must choose how to serve his prison terms

Either he starts in Nigeria and finishes at US or start in the US and finishes up in Nigeria

Either way,he will suffer for 600 years

One day bush meat go cash the hunter

Okay.
