Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has asked the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to produce its officers that worked with suspended DCP Abba Kyari in an exposed cocaine deal.<\/p>\n

The Inspector General, Usman Baba, made the demand after handing over indicted personnel to the anti-narcotics agency.<\/p>\n

Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi, issued a statement on his behalf on Monday.<\/p>\n

Baba revealed in-house investigation established reasonable grounds for strong suspicion that the IRT officers were involved in some underhand and unprofessional dealings and corruption.<\/p>\n

The IGP noted that their actions compromised ethical standards in their dealings with the suspects and exhibits recovered.<\/p>\n

The police said the international narcotics cartel under probe have strong ties with some NDLEA officers at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu, and \u201care on their payroll\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two arrested drug couriers confirmed that the modus is for the transnational drug barons to conspire with the NDLEA officers on duty and send them their pre-boarding photographs for identification, seamless clearance, and unhindered passage out of the airport with the narcotics being trafficked.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two arrested drug couriers also confirmed that they have been enjoying this relationship with the NDLEA officers at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport since 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baba said they had, in the case of 19th January 2022, been identified and cleared by the NDLEA officers as customary, having received their pre-departure photographs and other details prior to their arrival in Enugu.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were on their way out with the narcotics when they were apprehended by the Police\u201d, the statement noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe concerned officers include DCP Abba Kyari, ACP Sunday Ubuah, ASP Bawa James, ASP John Umoru (at large), Inspr. Simon Agrigba and John Nuhu. They have all been, accordingly, handed over today 14th February 2022 to the NDLEA authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The IGP assured of his administration\u2019s commitment to upholding ethical regeneration, restoration of professional standards, enhancement of the anti-corruption drive and respect for the rule of law.<\/p>\n
