The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA has revealed fresh facts on how suspended super cop and former Commander of the Intelligence Response Team, DCP Abba Kyari; as well as his deputy, ACP Sunday Ubua, allegedly received a combined N4.2 billion from their separate bank accounts.
The details are part of a report sent to the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, by the NDLEA.
According to the drug enforcement agency, not less than N1.4 billion passed through Kyari’s account while he was commander of the IRT.
However, Kyari’s deputy, Ubua, may have received far more than him as not less than N2.8 billion was traced to his eight bank accounts.
According to investigations, Ubua allegedly received a lump sum of N2.664 billion on August 15, 2019.
The NDLEA is now working on the assumption that the sums traced to Kyari and his deputy may be connected to the sale of some illicit substances including Tramadol worth N3 billion.
Meanwhile, the NDLEA has written a letter to the AGF seeking his approval for the confiscation of properties and assets belonging to the once revered super cop.
In another development, the wife of the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari on Monday, slumped at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Ramatu Kyari slumped and fell on the floor while men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency were leading Kyari and others away from the court premises.
After she slumped, she was quickly carried and rushed inside one of the offices of the court by NDLEA officials and lawyers for medical attention.
The development followed the deferment of ruling on Kyari’s bail application by the presiding judge, Justice Emeka Nwite.
The judge deferred ruling on applications filed by Kyari, alongside six other persons facing drug trafficking charges, that they be released on bail pending the determination of the case against them.
Furthermore, the judge adjourned the bail application of Kyari and others until March 28.
Justice Nwite adjourned the bail application after Kyari’s lawyers and the prosecution counsel argued their position for and against the request.
