Abba Kyari, the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, was nearly assassinated by enraged convicts who accused him of lying about bribe-for-release agreements while he was still on the job.

As a result of this development, jail officials are considering handing over the former leader of the IGP Intelligence Response Team to the State Security Service.

An internal record suggests that Kyari was attacked on the 4th of May, months after he was arrested for drug-related offenses, according to the article.

According to a prison official, Kyari was assaulted by around 190 inmates, the majority of whom are doing time for narcotics offenses.

Last year, Kyari was banned after he was tied to a money laundering case involving Ramon Abbas, also known as Hushpuppi.

Kyari was detained by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in February while on suspension awaiting the conclusion of an internal investigation into his involvement in a drug trafficking scheme.

Kyari described his exploitation of his squad to peddle narcotics and discussed sharing a criminal wealth in a video obtained by the NDLEA.

In March, he was accused in court and detained in Kuje prisons.

The beleaguered officer was rescued by officials, according to a source, and has since been put in an isolated cell “under severe protection where no one sees him for fear of attack or poisoning.”

It was further stated that Kyari paid each of the aggrieved inmates N200,000 ‘in initial settlement fees’ and then ‘procured DSTV subscription for cells to buy loyalty and peace.’

The spokesperson for the Nigerian Correction Service, Francis Enobore while speaking on Kyari paying for his freedom said, “I am not aware Abba Kyari paid anybody to secure his safety in prison.”

However, some prisoners have threatened to kill Kyari which has prompted the correctional facility to transfer him to SSS custody.
