Nigerians React As NDLEA Declares Abba Kyari Wanted
Nigerians have reacted to the news that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has declared wanted the embattled and suspended former head of the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT), DCP Abba Kyari.
During a press briefing on Monday, NDLEA spokesman, Femi Babafemi, had said the embattled super-cop was declared wanted over links to a global syndicate of drug dealers.
The NDLEA spokesman added that Kyari is wanted for being one of the leaders of a cartel of drug barons operating Brazil and Singapore network.

Babafemi disclosed that the anti-drug agency decided to declare Kyari wanted because he did not honour the invitation sent to him.
Reacting to the development, some Nigerians have taken to social media to express their views on the alleged link of the embattled cop with international drug barons amidst the Hupsshippi scandal.
Some of the reactions are below:
Abba Kyari and his team (while on fake suspension) arrested a Trafficker in Enugu with 25Kg of cocaine. He then called an NDLEA officer for them to release only 10Kg cocaine to NDLEA and replace the rest with a dummy that Kyari sold to the market at 7m per KG. https://t.co/jTLwcwWp6C

NDLEA declares Abba Kyari wanted. Accuses him of being a member of an international drug cartel. Just few months after FBI indicted him as an accomplice to Hushpuppi. Time up?

Abba Kyari sent pictures of Vincent in jail and subsequently sent a bank account number to Hushpuppi to which a wire transfer should be made having done a 'good' job
NDLEA declares Abba Kyari wanted for massive cocaine trafficking
How many Abba Kyari’s do we have in @PoliceNG ?

Can't NDLEA go to Abba Kyari's house at night and pick him up instead of declaring him wanted on the pages of a paper?
Atleast that's all they do to other citizens.

FBI indicted Abba Kyari for links with multimillion dollar fraud. Our govt looked away & made it into a tribal debate. Now NDLEA has declared him wanted for links to drugs. A govt that prides itself has an anti corruption regime has been birthing & pampering criminals!

APC has mastered the art of rewarding uncommon crooks. They are known for celebrating criminals. NDLEA has declared the celebrated Abba Kyari wanted. 360 Reps probably celebrated this crook. pic.twitter.com/i4UnDSuDvO
