Oyogist has learned that Embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Abba Kyari, may spend the rest of his life behind bars if convicted of alleged drug offences, a recent report by politics Nigeria shows.
Recall Oyogist.com had earlier report ed that Kyari, who headed the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Police, was in 2021 suspended after his alleged involvement in the swindling of a Qatari businessman and ties with internet Fraudster, Ramon Abass aka (Hushpuppi).
Also, On Monday, the Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) linked Kyari in a trans-border cocaine trafficking ring.
According to sources, Kyari was caught negotiating a deal with an NDLEA officer to compromise 25 kilograms of Cocaine initially intercepted from members of a Brazil-Ethiopia-Nigeria drug ring.
With the approval of the agency, the NDLEA officer played along with Kyari and this led to a sting operation that produced multimedia evidence now being used to prosecute the senior police officer.
Kyari has since been arrested and remanded in the custody of the agency while investigations continue.
