IGP shuts down all IRT, tactical squad units over Abba Kyari’s

The Inspector-General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba, has ordered the immediate closure of all satellite units of the Intelligence Response Team and Special Tactical Squad across the country.

This follows the arrest of the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Abba Kyari, and others by the authorities of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency over alleged drug dealings.

Kyari was declared wanted by the agency after he refused to submit himself for questioning.

Kyari, who was on suspension from the force over his ties to a disgraced fraudster, Ramon Olorunwa Abass alias Ray Hushpuppi, entangled himself in more trouble after he tried to bribe an official of the NDLEA with $61,000 to facilitate the release of the cocaine seized from two drug barons.

Kyari is currently in the custody of the NDLEA prior to the conclusion of investigations which will determine whether he will be prosecuted.
