Shehu Sani, a socio-political activist, has reacted to an
Abuja Federal High Court ruling that sent Abba Kyari, suspended Deputy
Commissioner of Police, to Kuje correctional facility.
Sani, who raised concern over Kyari’s safety in prison, said
the former Police Intelligence Response Team, IRT boss may be harmed.
In a tweet, the former Kaduna Central Senator pointed out
that the prison wardens are usually concerned about ensuring the safety of a
police officer when sent to prison.
Sani said, “When a policeman is ordered to be remanded in
prison, the first concern of the prison wardens is how to keep him safe from
the inmates he once arrested and led to their incarceration; in that case, he
is kept in a separate cell to save him from being beaten or anyway harmed.”
Justice Emeka Nwike had ordered the National Drug Law
Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, to transfer Kyari and six others facing drug
trafficking charges to the Kuje correctional centre.
The judge gave the order after denying the former Deputy
Commissioner of Police alongside other defendants bail.
Justice Nwite had held that the NDLEA placed sufficient
materials before it to warrant denying Kyari and the other defendants’ bail.
