Agba Jalingo Narrates How Abba Kyari Locked Him In Car Trunk From Lagos To Calabar

Nigerian journalist, Agba Jalingo on Monday revealed how the former head of the IGP Intelligence Response Team, Abba Kyari locked him in a car trunk and drove from Lagos State to Calabar, the capital of Cross River State.

The activist condemned the National Drug Enforcement Agency for not putting the suspended Deputy Commissioner of police and other suspects in handcuff when they appeared in court on Monday.

Kyari and others suspects were brought before an Abuja Court on eight counts bordering on conspiracy, obstruction, and dealing in cocaine, and other related offences.

The embattled police officer, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges, while two of his accomplices pleaded guilty.

Jalingo while speaking on Kyari’s arraignment in court on Monday, accused security agencies of giving preferential treatment to the suspended cop.

The activist while narrating his ordeal in the hands of Kyari said, “Abba Kyari and ACP Ubua were paid by the Cross River Government to arrest me from Lagos, drive me by road in the booth of a Toyota Highlander and hand over to Calabar. I will never forget and don’t ask me to.”

“I was charged. Every day I appeared in court, I arrived with my hands and handcuffs lifted in the air.

“Today, these men are in court, the same men who enjoyed parading their own suspects gleefully in the media, even against the law, they are now covering their faces. Covering their faces from what exactly! The same cameras they flaunted in the faces of those they kept and refused to even take to court?.”
