Abba Kyari, suspended deputy commissioner of police (DCP) says he hid like a rat during the recent attack on the correctional facility in Kuje
Although there were rumors that Kyari and other high-profile inmates escaped, this claim was denied by NCOs
Moving another bail application at the court session on Wednesday, Kyari, through his lawyer, Onyechi Ikpeazu, told the court that he had the opportunity to escape but declined to do so. He said the invasion of the correctional facility has established “a special and exceptional circumstance” that should warrant the court to release him & his co-defendant on bail pending the determination of the drug trafficking charge
In fact, the defendant hid like a rat because the organization that conducted the attack went from cell to cell, saying they want to take him & the others to the desert. These people have suffered. They are traumætized by the events of that night.
