I Didn't Operate Killer Squad, Never Received Money From Hushpuppi - Kyari

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has released video evidence showing embattled super-cop, Abba Kyari, offering a bribe to an officer of the agency to facilitate the release of some seized drugs.

Naija News reports that NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, released the footage during a press briefing at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja on Monday.

In the footage, the suspended head of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) was captured on camera mounting pressure on the NDLEA agent to release the drugs to him and bribing the officer with $61,000,

Kyari claimed that the agency had intercepted and arrested some traffickers that came into the country from Ethiopia with, according to him, 25kg of cocaine.

The embattled cop proposed a drug deal whereby he and his team are to take 15kg of the cocaine and leave 10kg for the prosecution of the suspects arrested with the illicit drug in Enugu.

He told the NDLEA officer that the drugs will be replaced with a dummy worth 15kg and asked the officer to persuade men of the FCT Command, to play along as well.

In the video, Kyari put pressure on the officer to wrap up the arrangement with the commander of the FCT Command to take custody of the drug and suspects from his men who were on the ground in Abuja.
