Drug Trafficking: NDLEA Tenders Exhibits Against DCP Kyari

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA has tendered before a Federal High Court, Abuja, exhibits linking suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Abba Kyari with alleged drug trafficking offences.

The exhibits which included the sum of $61, 400 and 24 packs of cocaine were admitted as evidence in proof of the allegations.

Kyari is standing trial on charges bothering on alleged involvement with hard drug deals.  While the $61,400 cash tendered was said to be money used to bribe the NDLEA’s officials who arrested him, the packs of cocaine were the ones at the heart of the trial.

According to the NDLEA, Kyari had attempted to bribe its senior officer with $61, 400. 00 at a restaurant in Abuja to avoid the testing of part of the cocaine that was seized from the two arrested drug pushers.
