The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has brought
Abba Kyari, suspended deputy commissioner (DCP) of police, to a federal high
court in Abuja.
The other defendants in the charge marked FHC/ABJ/57/2022
include Sunday J Ubia, Bawa James, Simon Agirigba and John Nuhu. The three defendants
are members of the police Intelligence Response Team (IRT).
Others are Chibunna Patrick Umeibe and Emeka Alphonsus
Ezenwanne, two alleged drug traffickers who were arrested at Akanu Ibiam
International Airport, Enugu.
In the charge filed by Joseph Sunday, NDLEA director of
prosecution and legal services, before the federal high court, the agency
accused Kyari and four other police officers of conspiracy, obstruction and
dealing in cocaine worth 17.55 kilograms.
Upon arraignment, Kyari and four other defendants pleaded
not guilty to the charges.
However, the sixth and seventh defendants entered a “guilty”
plea and begged the court for mercy.
“My lord, I’m guilty; have mercy,” the seventh defendant
said.
