Abba Kyari Escapes Murder In Prison After Inmates Attacked Him

It was gathered that Kyari had to pay each of the aggrieved inmates N200,000 ‘in initial settlement fees’ and then ‘procured DSTV subscription for cells to buy loyalty and peace,’ one source told the publication.

The source added that despite this gesture, the aggrieved inmates have continued to threaten Kyari’s life.

“Regardless of the level of protection, they vowed to get him. The inmates have given him an ultimatum to return all he extorted from them or be killed. Relevant officials have assessed that he will be killed or badly injured if he continues to be remanded in Kuje.”a source was quoted as saying

An official recommendation has therefore been made that Kyari should be transferred out of Kuje to an SSS facility.

Meanwhile, a prison source told Premium Times that Kyari has his way in Kuje prison, alleging that the he bought the loyalty of officers.

“So far, he has every relevant officer on his payroll. They do his bidding, he sees his wife, and he has access to mobile devices and marabouts,” a source said

The suspended police chief was arrested and remanded in prison amid his ongoing trial following allegations by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) that he attempted to bribe an official of the agency with $61,000 to facilitate the release of seized cocaine.

Kyari had also been accused of committing wire fraud, money laundering and identity theft and was declared wanted by the US government.
