Abba Kyari Fails To Respond To Police Query Given To Him In Detention Of Anti-drugs Agency, NDLEA

Abba Kyari

DCP Abba Kyari, the suspended Commander of the Intelligence Response Team, IRT, who is remanded in the custody of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, over his involvement in a 25kilogramme cocaine deal, has refused to officially respond to the query issued him by Nigeria Police Force Headquarters.

This is even as the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, yesterday, threatened to strike out the N500million fundamental right enforcement suit Kyari filed against the Federal Government.

According to Vanguard, the embattled DCP was handed the query while in NDLEA’s custody, close to a month ago.

Rather than answer the query, sources said that DCP Kyari claimed he could not write from where he was.

“That alone is a reply to the query. He stated that he could not write from where he was. He said when he gets out, he would officially answer the query, as he was not in the right frame of mind to answer officially,” a source said.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja threatened to strike out the N500million fundamental right enforcement suit Kyari filed against the Federal Government.

He had before his arraignment on March 7, instituted the legal action to challenge his arrest and detention by the NDLEA.

The applicant, among other things, is praying the court to order the FG to pay him N500million and also tender written apology to him in two national dailies for the unlawful violation of his fundamental human rights.
