Former presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri, has raised concerns over the circumstances surrounding the arrest of suspended Head of Intelligence Response Team and Deputy Police Commissioner, Abba Kyari, by the Nigeria Police.
He questioned the rationale behind the secret nature of Kyari’s arrest, which he claimed, was unlike that of embattled leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra who was publicly paraded by the Directorate of State Services on several occasions.
Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, raised the concerns on his Twitter page on Monday.
He tweeted, “Why the secrecy over Kyari’s arrest? We saw how they paraded a political prisoner like Nnamdi Kanu in handcuffs. Let’s see Abba Kyari paraded like that too for equity. And since Kyari is a fashion consultant, let them force him to wear designers as they did to Kanu!”
It was earlier reported that Kyari was arrested alongside four others on Monday hours after the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency declared him wanted over alleged drug links.
The suspended DCP is also under investigation after the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States of America indicted him in the case of fraud involving Instagram celebrity, Ramon Abbas, aka Hushpuppi.
NDLEA spokesperson, Femi Babafemi, had at a press briefing in Abuja on Monday, chronicled how Kyari belonged to a drug cartel that operates the Brazil-Ethiopia-Nigeria illicit drug pipeline.
