The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NAFDAC) has said wanted DCP Abba Kyari and four others are now in its custody.
The Nigeria Police Force arrested Abba Kyari this afternoon, saying it has handed him and four others to the NDLEA for investigation.
The NDLEA had declared Abba Kyari wanted for allegedly being a member of drug cartel.
A statement issued by the agency’s spokesman, Femi Babafemi on Monday evening said few hours after he was declared wanted by the NDLEA over his involvement in a 25 kilograms Cocaine deal, the Nigerian Police Force has handed him over to the anti-narcotic agency.
“Five of the wanted suspects namely: DCP Abba Kyari; ACP Sunday J. Ubua; ASP Bawa James; Inspector Simon Agirgba and Inspector John Nuhu were driven into the National Headquarters of NDLEA in Abuja at about 5pm on Monday 14th February to formally hand them over for interrogation and further investigation.
“The Agency wishes to assure that no stone will be left unturned to ensure that all suspects already in custody and those that may still be indicted in the course of investigation will face the full weight of the law at the end of the ongoing probe,” Babafemi said.
