Trial of a detained Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, over his alleged non-disclosure of his assets, resumed before the Federal High Court, in Abuja, yesterday, with a witness narrating how investigations exposed that the defendant received over N200 million through 10 different bank accounts.
The witness, Mr Ahmed Yero, who identified himself as a Chief Investigator with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, said the various accounts were tracked through the defendant’s Bank Verification Number, BVN.
He told the court that though a total of 12 bank accounts were traced to Kyari who hitherto headed the Police Intelligence Response Team, IRT, however, two of the accounts were found to be dormant.
Testifying as the ninth prosecution witness, PW-9, Mr Yero, told the court that he was on February 14, 2022, directed to lead a team from NDLEA’s Directorate of Assets & Financial Investigation, to look into assets owned by the defendant. (Vanguard)
