NDLEA CEO/Chairman, Brig-Gen. Buba Marwa
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has confirmed that the suspended Head of Intelligence Response Team (IRT), DCP Abba Kyari, is in its custody.
The narcotic agency had earlier declared Kyari wanted.
The Star had exclusively reported the arrest and handing over of Kyari by the police.
“Few hours after he was declared wanted by the NDLEA over his involvement in a 25 kilograms cocaine deal, the Nigerian Police Force has handed over the suspended DCP Abba Kyari, the erstwhile Commander of Intelligence Response Team (IRT) at the Force Intelligence Bureau of the Nigerian Police Force, to the anti-narcotic agency.

“Five of the wanted suspects namely: DCP Abba Kyari; ACP Sunday J. Ubua; ASP Bawa James; Inspector Simon Agirgba and Inspector John Nuhu were driven into the National Headquarters of NDLEA in Abuja at about 5p.m. on Monday 14th February to formally hand them over for interrogation and further investigation,” Femi Babafemi, NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, said on Monday.
The agency assured that no stone will be left unturned to ensure that all suspects already in custody and those that may still be indicted in the course of investigation will face the full weight of the law at the end of the ongoing probe.
