@SytheTheJackal wrote: “Abba Escobar should be extradited to America even if he is the sole importer of drugs into Nigeria. All I see is the NPF and the NDLEA trying 2 justify why he should be charged to court here and court trials in Naija are endless. I’m sure his cellmate in America is eager to meet him.”

@NoahNwosu75 wrote: “Why are all these coming out now when he is facing extradition to the US to face charges from the FBI? This is too coincidental to be true. NDLEA is playing out a script to frustrate extraditing #abbakyari to the United States. We won’t be deceived. Expect more of these.”

@BOnilenla wrote: “Discovery or no discovery, let Kyari be extradited to have his day in America. That is what will earn us international integrity. When he is done doing his time, if ever he does, he will return to Nigeria to face his charges.”

@SOLARINOLADIMEJ wrote: “If properly investigated, more discoveries are in the cooler. Remember Evans the kidnapper once alleged him of selling his car. He was a super cop with a syndicate that need to be busted.”
