Alleged Drug Trafficking: 4 SANs, 16 Lawyers Indicate Interest To Defend Abba Kyari
LAGOS MARCH 10TH (NEWSRANGERS)-No fewer than 20 lawyers have indicated interest to defend the suspended DCP Abba Kyari in a suit filed by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
Musa Shafiu, a legal practitioner, told newsmen on Wednesday, on behalf of other lawyers.
He said the team is made up of four senior advocates of Nigeria who represented Kyari and his co-defendant in the trial which would commence before Justice Emeka Nwite of a Federal High Court, Abuja.
“We should recall that DCP Abba Kyari, in a motion filed before Justice Inyang Ekwo of Federal High Court sitting in Abuja denied the allegation linking him to an international drug cartel by the NDLEA.
“He filed the motion to seek for the enforcement of his fundamental rights.
“He said he was ready to appear in court to answer any charge against him because the allegation upon which he was arrested and detained is a trump-up allegation without sufficient proof,” Shafiu said.
