Abba Kyari And His IRT Team Killed, Detained Many Nigerians — Lawyer Reveals

Inibehe Effiong, a lawyer, has weighed in on DCP Abba Kyari’s latest indictment by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, for his association with fraudster Ramon Olorunwa Abass, also known as “Ray Hushpuppi.”

Kyari got orders and bribes from Hushpuppi, according to court documents published on Thursday in the United States. He assisted hushpuppi in apprehending and detaining another fraudster, Vincent, with whom he (hushpuppi) had a falling out.

Effiong said that Kyari and his team of police officers, known as the “Intelligence response team” or “IRT” for short, were responsible for the arrest and murder of several Nigerians in a statement posted on his Facebook page, which was seen by NEWS DIRECT.

He wrote: “Abba Kyari has a notorious and frightening history of abuse of human rights. Many Nigerians have been arrested, detained and even murdered by IGP Response Team led by Kyari.”

“Kyari has no respect for court orders or rule of law. He is celebrated because Nigeria is a crime scene.
While it is true that he has been successful in resolving criminal cases, his modus operandi has been very controversial. If we’re going to have a democratic and civilized country, we must insist that enforcers of the law follow the law. Kyari is not above the law.”

“Those who are trying to divert attention from the indicting and scandalous documents from the FBI should understand that the United States is not Nigeria where institutions of state are weak, corrupt and vulnerable to ethnic and religious sentiments and partisan interests.”

“American institutions are not perfect. But they are largely above board. Most of us knew before now that Hushpuppi had a questionable source of income. That is not the kind of character that a “super cop” should associate with. Abba Kyari should be extradited to the US. Period.”
