The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has said that it would not cover up for anyone involved in the drug deal case which suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Abba Kyari is a major suspect.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the spokesman of the agency, Femi Babafemi was reacting to the reported involvement of some yet-to-be-identified NDLEA officers in Kyari’s case.
Recall that the Deputy Force Public Relations Officer (DFPRO), Olumuyiwa Adejobi said in a statement on Monday that its findings showed that some NDLEA officers were involved in official corruption which compromised ethical standards in their dealings with the suspects and exhibits recovered.
“Beyond this, the Police investigation also established that the international narcotics cartel involved in this case have strong ties with some officers of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) who are on their pay roll.
“The two arrested drug couriers confirmed that the modus is for the transnational drug barons to conspire with the NDLEA officers on duty and send them their pre-boarding photographs for identification.
“The idea is to ensure seamless clearance, and unhindered passage out of the airport with the narcotics being trafficked,” Adejobi had said.
Responding to a question on how the agency will treat its men who have been fingered in the illicit deal, Babafemi told Journalists on Tuesday: “Having gone this far, and doing due diligence, what kind of cover-up are you talking about?”
“Anybody that may be indicted would face the full wrath of the law. And this has always been the stance of the Chairman/Chief Executive of NDLEA, Brig. Gen Mohamed Buba Marwa.”
“We appeal to Nigerians to let the agency complete its assignment and we assured Nigerians that the outcome of the investigation would be made public appropriately.”
Kyari is currently in the custody of the agency and is currently being interrogated alongside his cohorts.
People like this Abba will definitely assist terrorist if money is involved. This is why our good men in the army are finding war against terrorism difficult. If not that husppupi was arrested by the FBI all of this wouldn’t have been done even though people in the government are aware of their wickedness. One by one God destroy the wicked in this country.
This is getting messy. A case of dog eat dog. We may be seeing some dirty linens soonest.
That sounds him right
Is this not a ploy to save kyari from extradition..he was suspended and still working
All the best
A diligent investigation should be carried out in this case. Not only Abba Kyari but so many Nigerians in authority used their positions to do terrible things that damaged the image of Nigeria.
Has the Nigeria Police ever inquire where Abba Kyari got the money in building so many houses worth hundreds millions of naira and dollars. What’s his salary even as a DCP. His mansion in his home town, can anyone tell the value?
