PHOTOS: DCP Abba Kyari arraigned for alleged drug dealing

Abba Kyari, suspended deputy commissioner (DCP) of police, was arraigned at a federal high court in Abuja on Monday on drug charges.

In the charge filed by Joseph Sunday, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) director of prosecution and legal services, the agency accused Kyari and four other police officers of conspiracy, obstruction and dealing in cocaine worth 17.55 kilograms.

Upon arraignment, Kyari and four other defendants pleaded not guilty to the charges.

However, the sixth and seventh defendants entered a “guilty” plea and begged the court for mercy.
