EKO HOT BLOG reports that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has released video evidence against embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari.
NDLEA showed footage of Kyari trying to bribe one of its operatives in a bid to carry out a drugs heist in the country.
The agency had declared him wanted over alleged links to a drugs cartel earlier on Monday.
NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, had linked the former Intelligence Response Team (IRT) boss to a drug cartel operating the Brazil-Ethiopia-Nigeria illicit drug pipeline.
Babafemi, while addressing a press conference, also gave details of how Kyari approached its operatives to help in the cartel’s operation.

This latest development compounds the suspended erstwhile IRT boss’ woes as he is still under investigation and possible extradition to the United States for his links with fraudster Ramon Abbas aka Hushpuppi.
Recall that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had called for Kyari’s extradition to face charges of money laundering after he was implicated by Hushpuppi.
FBI Special Agent, Andrew Innocenti, had said he obtained voice calls and WhatsApp conversations between Kyari and Hushpuppi, adding that Hushpuppi also paid the police officer N8m or $20,600 for the arrest and detention of a “co-conspirator,” Chibuzo Vincent.
The United States Attorney’s Office at the Central District of California had ordered the FBI to arrest Kyari but the IGP and the Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN) evasively continued to shield Kyari till this moment.
Hushpuppi has since pleaded guilty to the charges and if convicted risks a 20-year-jail term, three-year supervision upon completion of jail term, and monetary restitution to the tune of $500,000 or more.
The court documents also outlined a dispute among members of the Hushpuppi conspiracy, which allegedly prompted him to arrange to have an individual identified as ‘co-conspirator’ Kelly Chibuzor Vincent, jailed in Nigeria by DCP Kyari.
Following the allegations, the top detective was suspended and a panel was set up by the Inspector-General of Police to probe the FBI allegations.
But Kyari denied the allegations, claiming that his “hands are clean”.
