Abba Kyari In Soup As NDLEA Traces N4.2bn To His Bank Account

DCP Abba Kyari, the embattled and suspended super officer, may face more charges after a large quantity of money thought to have been obtained unlawfully was purportedly tracked to his bank account.

Investigations also indicated that ACP Sunday Ubua, who is one of his co-defendants, may have received some unexplained monies in his accounts.

Based on investigations conducted by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, a total of Sum N4.2 billion has been tracked to the accounts of the suspects.

At the Federal High Court in Abuja, Abba Kyari is charged with eight charges of conspiracy, obstruction, cocaine dealing, and other connected offenses.

The NDLEA claims the money is linked to narcotics trafficking as well as other illicit operations by Kyari and his associates, according to a source reported by The Punch.

The source said, “You will recall that the NDLEA is investigating an allegation that Kyari and his team seized a large consignment of tramadol in a warehouse at Amuwo Odofin in Lagos. The consignment was worth about N3bn.

“The IRT under Kyari’s command seized these drugs and they are believed to have sold the consignment to a cartel afterwards. It was around the time of this seizure that Kyari’s deputy received a deposit of N2.664bn in his personal bank account. Out of this money, he purchased FBN Insurance shares worth about N100m.”
