Suspended police chief, Abba Kyari, received a warm welcome from his family members after being released from detention.
Photos that emerged online captured Kyari in the company of his family members, with a design on the wall that reads, “Welcome back.”
See the photos below:
ADULAWO NEWS recall that Kyari was detained after being arrested on February 14, 2022, by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for his alleged involvement with an international drug cartel.
Alongside four members of the Police Intelligence Response Team, Kyari was arraigned on March 7, 2022.
Two suspected drug traffickers, Chibunna Umeibe and Emeka Ezenwanne, who were apprehended at Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu, were also charged.
While Kyari and the IRT members pleaded not guilty, Umeibe and Ezenwanne pleaded guilty and were convicted.
However, despite numerous applications, Kyari’s requests for bail were consistently denied until a recent ruling by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
