N4.2 Billion Traced To Abba Kyari, Deputy's Accounts

The NDLEA has traced a combined amount of N4.2 billion to the accounts of suspended DCP Abba Kyari and his deputy ACP Sunday Ubua.

Punch reports that the details of the fresh facts are contained in a report sent to the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, by the NDLEA.

The drug enforcement agency disclosed that not less than the aforementioned amount passed through Kyari's account when he was the commander of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT).

According to the report, Kyari's deputy got far more than his boss as N2.8 billion was traced to his eight bank accounts.

Furthermore, investigations show that Ubua received the sum of N2.664bn on August 15, 2019, giving the NDLEA reasons to believe that Kyari and his deputy may be connected to the sale of some illicit substances, including Tramadol worth N3 billion.

A source revealed: "You will recall that the NDLEA is investigating an allegation that Kyari and his team seized a large consignment of tramadol in a warehouse at Amuwo Odofin in Lagos. The consignment was worth about N3 billion.

"The IRT under Kyari’s command seized these drugs and they are believed to have sold the consignment to a cartel afterward.

"It was around the time of this seizure that Kyari’s deputy received a deposit of N2.664 billion in his personal bank account. Out of this money, he purchased FBN Insurance shares worth about N100 million."

The NDLEA has penned a letter to the AGF seeking his approval for the confiscation of properties and assets belonging to Kyari.
