Shehu Sani Mocks Abba Kyari Says Nigerian Cells Have No Sympathy For Hunger Strike

Former Kaduna Central lawmaker, Shehu Sani has mocked the disgraced super cop, Abba Kyari, telling him to enjoy his time in the cell.

The former lawmaker also called on the suspended former head of the IGP Intelligence Response Team (IRT) not to attempt going without food.

According to Sani, the cells of Nigeria are no place to reject food as he would need it to keep his body and soul together and survive the grueling times.

Taking to his Twitter page on Thursday, Sani reacted to the arrest of Abba Kyari who has been fingered in an international drug trafficking cartel by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) after he was also indicted in an international fraud case involving Hushpuppi.

The former Senator wrote: “Kyari should not refuse to eat. He should just eat. Nigerian Cells have no sympathy for hunger strike. Na so we too eat whenever we fall inside there. But after eating, you can just pretend you no eat.”

Meanwhile, two members of the Intelligence and Response Team (IRT), Assistant Commissioner of Police Sunday Ubua and Assistant Superintendent of Police James Bawa, have been suspended from the Nigeria Police Force.

Naija News reports that the two members of the Abba Kyari-led team were suspended from their respective offices by the Police Service Commission (PSC) in a letter dated February 16, 2022, and directed to the Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba.

The letter is titled “Re- Investigation into seizure and Transfer to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency of 25 kilogrammes of Cocaine by the Office of DCP, Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Nigeria Police Department of Force Intelligence Bureau”.

A statement on Thursday issued by PSC Spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, said the letter was signed by a member of the commission, Hon. Justice Clara B. Ogunbiyi, on behalf of a former police chief and PSC Chairman, Musiliu Smith.

Ani said the two police officers have been suspended from their duties with effect from Monday, February 14, 2022, until the outcome of the investigation into the allegations levelled against them.

He added that PSC also asked the police chief to suspend Inspector Simon Agrigba and Inspector John Nuhu in accordance with the Powers of Delegation.
