Nigeria's 'super cop' Abba Kyari has been arrested over his involvement in a cocaine smuggling cartel. Kyari and four other cops were arrested "for...criminal conspiracy, discreditable, unethical, and unprofessional conduct, official corruption and tampering with exhibits in a case of illicit drug trafficking involving a perpetual transnational drug cartel." Kyari was suspended last year following an FBI indictment linking him to money launderer Ramon Abbas, 'Hushpuppi', who is awaiting sentencing for his $24m cybercrime. Abbas faces 20 years. |
