Abba Kyari reveals those who are behind alleged plot to destroy him
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Kyari alleged that members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Eastern Security Network (ESN) are behind his travails.
The embattled senior police officer made this claim when he appeared before a probe panel led by Joseph Egbunike, a Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG) at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
Kyari's claim was contained in a report submitted by the panel to the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Usman Baba, which was in turn forwarded to the Police Service Commission (PSC).
More details of 'super cop's dealings with drug trafficking
In a related development, after the NDLEA declared Kyari wanted, more information on the probe has emerged.
The NDLEA, contrary to claims in some quarters that the previously perceived super cop would go scotfree, said no stone would be left unturned in the investigation and prosecution of the matter.
The agency said there would be no cover-up for anyone involved in the drug trafficking deal, irrespective of their class or status in society.
