The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has declared DCP Abba Kyari wanted over his alleged involvement in illicit drug deal.
The Head of Media and Publicity of the NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, told newsmen in Abuja that Kyari allegedly cornered 35 kilogrammes of cocaine seized by his team.
He was said to have contacted an officer of the agency about the deal, which he promised to give 10 kilogrammes of the drugs to be sold and shared with other operatives of the agency.

The NDLEA officer then informed the office and was told to play along with Kyari in the deal so as to get proof of the illicit deal.
Video clips of Kyari’s discussions and where he delivered the money from the sales of the drug to the NDLEA officer was played to newsmen at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja.
The NDLEA spokesman said Kyari was declared wanted for refusing to honour the invitation of the Agency over the matter.
The development is coming seven months after the U.S Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) indicted Kyari for having links with popular alleged international fraudster Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi, who is presently being held in the U.S. for alleged multi-million-dollar internet fraud.
The United States District Court for the Central District of California had subsequently ordered the FBI to arrest and detain Kyari should he set foot on American soil.
