COURT ACQUITS SUSPENDED DSP ABBA KYARI IN NDLEA ASSETS DECLARATION CASE
A Federal High Court in Abuja has acquitted suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, of a 23-count charge of alleged non-declaration of assets filed by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
Justice James Omotosho ruled that the NDLEA failed to provide sufficient evidence to prove the allegations against Kyari and his two brothers, who were accused of swearing false affidavits to conceal the origin of certain properties.
The court held that the prosecution did not present credible documents linking Kyari to the properties in question, including those in Fountain Estate, Kasana, and Linda Choko Road, Asokoro, Abuja, as well as in Maiduguri, Borno State.
Kyari had explained that the Maiduguri properties belonged to his late father and were inherited by him and his siblings, which the prosecution failed to disprove.
