The suspended Head of the Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT) DCP Abba Kyari has expressed appreciation to his bosses and colleagues who supported him in the course of discharging his official responsibilities.
Kyari has been indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) after he was linked with Ramon Abbas a.k.a. Hushpuppi, a Nigerian facing trial for fraud in the United States of America.
In a letter of appreciation made available to the New Times by a police source, Kyari seems not to be devastated by his ordeal. He rather seems to be in high spirits, saying that he would seize the opportunity of his absence from official duties to relax and reunite with his family.
In an indirect way of reaffirming his innocence, Kyari said: “All those who know me closely know that I detest lies. Everything I say and post is the truth. The truth on this issue will come out soonest, to clear all doubts.”
The letter reads: “To all my friends and colleagues in the office, please do not be worried. I am good and in high spirits. I see this as an excellent opportunity to relax and spend good time with family and friends after 11 years of non-stop dogged fight against deadly criminals and killers across the country.
