The lawyer for suspended DCP Abba Kyari has said his client never issued any statement blaming the current insecurity on his absence from duty.
Social media had been awash with a statement credited to Kyari who is facing charges after he was linked to a drug ring.
Reacting, his lawyer, Barr. Suleiman Abdullahi, urged Nigerians to disregard the report which he labelled as fake news.
“It necessary to respond to the fake news being peddled by mischief makers and those who are hellbent to tarnish his hard-earned reputation because some people might believe what is completely untrue and fake we don’t respond,” he said.
Açcording to him,” It’s the position of Abba Kyari that every country goes through difficult times and Nigeria is not an exception.
“Kyari has always been praying for his country to have more peace, prosperity and unity, as he lives in Nigeria likewise his family members, friends and supporters, he has nowhere to call home except Nigeria,
“His lawyer argued in one of the papers he filed in court that his client (Abba Kyari) had fought violent crimes doggedly across the country and violent crimes have been increasing in recent times.
“These are not Abba kyari’s words but normal arguments of a lawyer about his client. This has caused some mischievous elements to try to twist it as if it were Abba Kyari’s words.
“All well-meaning and good Nigerians should not be deceived but ignore such fake publications,” he said.
