IPOB members are out to destroy me:Abba Kyari

Abba Kyari, the embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police, has blamed his troubles on members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
2023 – Omo-Agege Kyari claims that the organisations are aiming to smear his name.

When he went before a probe panel led by Joseph Egbunike, a Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG) at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, the suspended super cop was said to have made this assertion.

Kyari said IPOB members were chasing him because of the onslaught against them in the southeast, according to the panel’s report, which was presented to the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, and transmitted to the Police Service Commission (PSC).

“It’s a campaign to trash his character by IPOB/ESN members who promised to destroy him because of his onslaught on them in the South East,” Kyari was quoted as saying in the report.

The panel, however, is said to have criticized his allegation, calling it “watery.”

His promotion from Deputy Commissioner of Police to Assistant Commissioner of Police was also ordered by the panel.

Kyari was recently placed on the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency’s (NDLEA) wanted list for alleged ties to an international drug syndicate.

He was caught together with four other cops and turned over to the anti-narcotics agency just hours after he was declared wanted.
