Abba Kyari is no where to be found after terrorists attack Abuja prison

The whereabouts of corrupt suspected Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, are yet to be known after bandits attacked Kuje Correctional Centre, Abuja, where he was kept.

During the attack which lasted hours, over 600 inmates were said to have escaped.

The Kuje prison is famous for holding high-profile inmates and suspects, including former governors and ministers.

“We have not seen him today. He didn’t also come for Subhi (early morning) prayer as usual. But I don’t know what is happening,” a source in the prison told our correspondent.

Another official, who preferred anonymity, told THEWATCH NEWS  that the whereabouts of Kyari remained unknown to him as of 09.30am.

 

“I am sure he is not missing and he didn’t escape. But I don’t know where exactly he is,” the official said.

When contacted, the spokesperson for the Nigerian Correctional Service, Umar Abubakar, said “Kyari is not missing”.

Abubakar also noted that Kyari has not been moved from the Kuje prison.

“He is still in our custody. Nothing happened to him.

Abubakar in a statement said the armed squad of the service in collaboration with other security agencies responded to the attack.

The statement was titled, “Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje attacked by gunmen.”

Justice Emeka Nwite gave the order after Kyari’s bail application and his co-defendants were rejected by the court.

Justice Nwite, who turned down the bail plea of the four of Kyari’s colleagues in the Special Intelligence Response Team of the Inspector-General of Police, also ordered them to be remanded in Kuje Correctional Centre.

Kyari was, on March 7, arraigned alongside four of his colleagues as first to fifth defendants in the charge marked: FHC/ABJ/57/2022.

The five police officers were arraigned alongside Umeibe and Ezenwanne on charges bordering on alleged conspiracy, obstruction and dealings in cocaine worth 17.55 kilograms.
