An Abuja-based human rights lawyer, Pelumi Olajengbesi has called on the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to parade suspended Deputy Police Commissioner Abba Kyari, with 25kg of cocaine, $61,400 and other exhibits recovered from him.
The Nation reports Kyari was taken into custody on Monday by the anti-drug trafficking agency, which accused him of involvement in trafficking cocaine by a drug cartel operating the Brazil-Ethiopia-Nigeria illicit drug pipeline.
Olajengbesi, in a Facebook post on Thursday, carpeted NDLEA and other security agencies for not demonstrating equal lawlessness they carry out in investigating and embarrassing citizens with Abba Kyari’s case.
He said: “In this Abba Kyari’s case, the Nigerian Security agencies are yet to demonstrate equal lawlessness they carry out in investigating and embarrassing citizens by interviewing them on cameras, taking their pictures holding boards with incriminating inscriptions and parading them with their criminal items in press conference like they do to common criminals.
“We need the NDLEA to bring Abba Kyari to answer questions on TV with display of the 25kg cocaine. Let us not be hopeless in this country
