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

Blood of God!!!

My brother please do research before posting. Almost all SARS operations in Lagos here is always led by Abba Kyari. In most news, you'll hear Abba Kyari. Forget tribalism, the guy is good at his job. He led SARS to capture GodoGodo and so many others.

This promotion is long overdue if you ask me.

Congrats to a gallant officer...remember me when you get to the very top..

You would appreciate this guy, had it been you searched about his exploits in bursting up criminal syndicates.

To me,he isnt too young,its just that Nigeria believes so much in old men

Isn't that an apple iPhone 6plus?
How much is his salary?

If he never serve for bokoharam infested area then the promotion is not by merit and he doesn't deserve it...

I thought the guy will be twenty or thirty something.

Aug 08, 2013

yinchar:
The tall and handsome Maiduguri, Borno State born security expert has successfully planned, co-ordinated and executed the crushing of major armed robbery syndicates terrorising the entire South West in the last 12 months. Since September last year, the whole of the South West states have witnessed fewer armed robbery attacks after SARS men, led by Kyari, silenced the three major armed robbery syndicates that have been terrorising the region, which forced some banks, especially in Ogun and Ondo States, to close operations when the attacks was becoming unbearable

The corporate philosophy of his leadership, which is rooted in the scriptures, coupled with his military intelligence background has propelled his workforce to greater heights. He spares nothing as far as leading his men in the battle field when armed robbery is concerned. Abba Kyari, the officer-in-charge of the Special Anti Robbery Squad, Ikeja, Lagos State, has done phenomenally well in combating crime in his almost four-year tenure as officer-in-charge of anti-robbery in Lagos State. And his great success has endeared him to the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, who honoured him in 2011 and 2012, with awards for excellence for his inestimable contribution to the security of Lagos State. Last year alone looked like a summit of his successes in combating crime not just in Lagos State alone but the whole of the South West region of Nigeria.

The tall and handsome Maiduguri, Borno State born security expert has successfully planned, co-ordinated and executed the crushing of major armed robbery syndicates terrorising the entire South West in the last 12 months. Since September last year, the whole of the South West states have witnessed fewer armed robbery attacks after SARS men, led by Kyari, silenced the three major armed robbery syndicates that have been terrorising the region, which forced some banks, especially in Ogun and Ondo States, to close operations when the attacks was becoming unbearable. During one of the arrests, two General Purpose Machine Guns, nine AK47 riffles and one rocket launcher were recovered from the robbers’ hideout. Over 225 Ak47 magazines, all fully loaded with 30 rounds, and six dynamites were recovered. This was after a tip off from an informant that most of these hoodlums are based in Benin Republic but only operate in Nigeria with their ammunitions hidden somewhere in Lagos State.

Narrating the scenario that led to their arrest, a police source said the SARS men disguised as hardcore businessmen based In Lagos State and they contacted the gangs in Benin Republic. They said they had an N18 million business deal. On hearing this, they were so excited. Four of them came to Lagos for the deal and they were arrested at an eatery in Ojodu area of Lagos State. Those arrested were then made to reveal the hideout of the gang. They confessed during interrogation that their ammunition supplier, an Igbo born man, simply identified as Tochwukwu, was also based in Benin Republic. Weeks later, our source said Tochwukwu was arrested in Onisha, Anambra State. Tochukwu confessed to the police that he deals in importation of sophisticated weapons for a living. He said: “AK47 goes for N450,000. Rocket launcher sells for N2.5 million while General Purpose Machine Gun is sold for N1.8 million.

Another gang, led by one Ejike, who specialises in stalking bank customers, raping women and carting away their valuable goods in the Lekki-Ajah axis of Lagos State have been also brought to book. The cruel bandits, who were also fond of killing policemen around the Lagos metropolis during any of their operations, was the same gang that robbed some major Bureau De Change in a bloody operation that has been tagged Black Sunday. Policemen and some of the Bureau De Change operators were killed during the operation.
Abba Kyari appears natural. He has a nose that can pick up the faintest scent of robbers in their den. And he is equally so sure footed he gets hot on their heels easily, dogging them until he sniffs them out from their hideout. With about 25 years ahead of Kyari in the service, the Nigeria Police has enough time to make use of him.

May GOD in his infinite mercy continue to protect and bless this galant officer, and on behalf of my humble self and fellow nairalanders, I hereby nominate ABBA KYARI for National honors, to serve as source of inspiration to all other armed officer.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA

[size=14pt]Police Arrest Ex-banker, Undergraduates For Kidnapping And Robbery[/size]

Mar 17, 2015

Thirty-two-year-old Edet Ekuno, an ex-banker, and seven others are currently in the police net for alleged kidnapping, robbery and illegal dealing in arms.

Ekuno, it was learnt, worked with one Hope Okon, an ND 2 Computer Engineering student at a polytechnic in Akwa Ibom; Sunday Samiga, Unagbon Isaiah and other suspects at large, to kidnap unsuspecting well-to-do residents around Lagos and Akwa Ibom states.

PUNCH Metro gathered that a decoy team, led by the officer in charge of the Special Anti- Robbery Squad, ASP Abba Kyari, rounded up the suspects at about 2am on March 7 at D2 Hotel in the Ojodu-Berger area, where they were reportedly perfecting plans to kidnap a businessman in Magodo Estate.

Two locally-made pistols and 18 live cartridges were said to have been recovered from the gang.

A cab driver, who reportedly aided the syndicate with his car, was said to have evaded arrest.

Ekuno, who lives in Ajah, told PUNCH Metro that he joined the group in 2012 to kidnap one of his neighbours working with Chevron. He added that he could not explain what prompted him to the act.

He said, “I was laid off by the bank I used to work for. I am also an estate agent and the music minister in a church. I don’t just know what came over me. The 2012 operation involved a neighbour, but it was not successful. The man shouted for help and we fled with his money and phones. We were five in that operation. I was given N20,000 from the proceeds. Magodo operation was my second attempt.”

In his confession, 27-year-old Okon said he made N800,000 from one of his operations after collecting N5m ransom from the family of a woman they kidnapped. Okon added that he had been in Lagos for about two weeks monitoring their target’s movements.

He said, “In 2010, in Akwa Ibom, we kidnapped a woman whose daughter is a medical doctor. We released her after her family paid N5m. My share was N800,000. I used it to keep poultry, but it later collapsed due to poor management. The cab driver gave us information that the businessman was rich because he rode different types of cars. I was about to go back to Akwa Ibom having exhausted the N50,000 on me when we were arrested. Samiga and Isaiah usually helped us to scare our victims with guns but they don’t kill.”

Apart from the gang, four other suspects ─ Andrew Moukwue, Christopher Edwin, Peter Onyeale and Okpara Reginald ─ were paraded for illegal dealing in arms and robbery.

Our correspondent gathered that three Ak-47 rifles, two baretta and brownie pistols were recovered from them.

Moukwue, the kingpin of the dealers, who was apprehended in Onitsha, Anambra State and transferred to the Lagos command, was said to have led SARS operatives back to his accomplices’ hideouts.

Fifty-year-old Moukwue said he had sold over 100 guns since 2011, adding that he had customers across the country.

He said, “I bought the guns from one Alhaji Amau in Ibadan. I have sold more than 100. I buy one for N350,000 and sell for N400,000. People came from Anambra, Bayelsa, Rivers, Abia, Enugu and Lagos states to buy from me.

“I had a store at a market in Onitsha, where I kept the guns. I use the money I realise to train my children. I did not know the business is illegal until I was arrested.”

Edwin, who hails from Omasi in Anambra State, told our correspondent that he had bought 14 guns from Moukwe since he started the business in 2014.

“I was selling beverages before somebody introduced me to this business last year. I resold each of the 14 guns I bought from Moukwue for N430,000. Nomads and businessmen patronised me,” he said.

Reginald, 30-year-old final year Economics student, said he knew Moukwue through his master, who is now late.

The Lagos State Commissioner of police, Kayode Aderanti, said the suspects were apprehended through information provided by members of the public.

Aderanti also said the police would hunt down the bandits who killed three cops and a fish seller while robbing a bank in the Lekki area.

He said, “We will ensure that perpetrators of Lekki robbery are brought to justice. The type of weapons used by these robbers showed that they were well prepared. It requires diligent investigation to fish them out. I promise that such an attack will not happen again.”

now that the man is being acknowledged for uncommon heroism, they are shouting tribalism.

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...

what is this one saying sef,hope u ve not started running mad?

well deserved

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

As much as I hate to, I may want to agree with you on this. Anyone coming here to spew religious/tribal balderdash should check this guys track record before delving into their rhetoric.

Congratulations to a GALLANT Police Officer.
