DCP Abba Kyari, the embattled and suspended former head of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT), has been arrested by Nigerian police.
According to the PUNCH, he was arrested on Monday along with four others.
The arrest of the supercop comes just hours after the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency declared him wanted for alleged drug connections.
NDLEA spokesman Femi Babafemi released a video of Abba Kyari offering a bribe to an agency officer to facilitate the release of some seized drugs during a press conference at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja on Monday.
The footage shows the suspended head of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) putting pressure on the NDLEA agent to release the drugs and bribing the officer with $61,000.
Kyari claimed that the agency had intercepted and apprehended some drug traffickers who had entered the country from Ethiopia with 25kg of cocaine.
The troubled cop proposed a drug deal in which he and his team would take 15kg of cocaine and leave 10kg for the prosecution of the suspects arrested with the illegal drug in Enugu.
He informed the NDLEA officer that the drugs would be replaced with a 15kg dummy and asked the officer to persuade men from the FCT Command to participate as well.
In the video, Kyari puts pressure on the officer to finalize the agreement with the commander of the FCT Command to take custody of the drugs and suspects from his men on the ground in Abuja. Play the video here;
