I respect all forces they are all great

The other members of the gang captured alive should be lined up and executed.

Death to kidnappers!

This Abba Kyari is going places, I really love the way he's progressing.

Nigeria has not quite seen the like of this police officer Abba Kyari. He is dedicated, intelligent and brilliant. His accomplishments speak for him. I pray he lives long enough to fulfill his destiny. He should be watchful of criminal elements and collaborators within the Police and there is no shortage of them.

Nigeria's Jack Bauer - Abba Kyari Officer Extraordinaire

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

Police Arrest Ex-banker, Undergraduates For Kidnapping And Robbery

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.”

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.
