I Didn’t Say My Absence Increased Insecurity – Abba Kyari

May 11, (THEWILL) – Suspended deputy commissioner of police, Abba Kyari, has denied reports that his absence has caused serious increase in incidents of insecurity in the country.

THEWILL earlier reported that Kyari’s lawyer, Nureini Jimoh, had on Tuesday, prayed the Federal High Court in Abuja to review his bail application initially rejected by the court.

Jimoh had argued that the arrest and continued detention of the the embattled cop at the Kuje prison, has emboldened criminals in their incessant onslaught against Nigeria.

Citing instances of insecurity such as the Kaduna-Abuja train bombing on March 28, the Kaduna airport attack, as well as rampant banditry on the road linking Kaduna to Abuja, he argued that the country had become a hotbed of crises ever since his arrest.

“Upon the incarceration of the applicants, criminality in the nation has risen up. The Kaduna train attack, Kaduna-Abuja road attack, as well as Kaduna airport attack was a result of the incarceration of the applicants.

“The entire plan to incarcerate the applicants led to the criminal upsurge and other high-level insecurity in the country. Since the incarceration of the applicants, the police have not recorded any level of success on the senseless attack(s) across the country”, he claimed.

But Kyari in a statement issued on Wednesday by Barr. Suleiman Abdullahi, said the claims were just normal arguments of a lawyer about his client.

The statement reads in part: “It necessary to respond to the fake news being peddled by mischief makers and those who are hellbent to tarnish his hard earned reputation, because some people might believe what is completely untrue and fake.

“It’s the position of Abba Kyari that every country goes through difficult times and Nigeria is not an exception.

“Kyari has always been praying for his country to have more peace, prosperity and Unity, as he lives in Nigeria likewise his family members, friends and supporters, he has nowhere to call home except Nigeria.

“It was learnt that his Lawyer argued in one of the papers he filed in court that his client had fought violent crimes doggedly across the country and violent crimes have being increasing in recent times.

“These are not Abba kyari’s words, but normal arguments of a lawyer about his client. This has caused some mischievous elements to try to twist it as if it’s Abba kyari’s words.

“All well meaning and good Nigerians should not be deceived, but ignore such fake publications.”
