Deputy Commissioner of police in charge of the Intelligence Response Team IRT DCP Abba Kyari has accused one Mr. Afeez Mojeed who claimed to be a Lagos-based businessman of blackmail
Mr Mojeed an alleged accused fraudster had brought a petition before the Lagos State Judicial panel on endsars as he claimed DCP Kyari allegedly extorted him of over 40million. He claimed this extortion took place in 2014 when Kyari was officer in charge of the now disbanded special anti-robbery squad (SARS) in Lagos.
Response from Barr Hamza Nuhu on the Blackmail attempt on DCP Abba Kyari by a yet to be convicted fraudster Afeez Mojeed who was earlier charged to court.
Barr Nuhu said one of such attempts is the concocted stories and false allegations against one of Nigeria’s very best and most decorated police officers of all time DCP Abba Kyari, former OC SARS Lagos State being promoted by one Mr. Azeez Mojeed as contained in a petition he wrote to the newly formed Judicial Panel of Inquiry And Restitution For Victims of SARS set up by the Lagos State Government.
In his petition against DCP Abba Kyari, Mojeed had alleged among other accusations that Kyari had forced him to sign off on the withdrawal of 41 million naira from him, taken away his SUV car and other personal effects while he was detained for fifteen days.
It is curious that Mojeed who claimed that he was eventually set free by the court did not in anywhere in the petition state the crime he was arrested for.
that the accused fraudster, Afeez Mojeed defrauded 94 million Naira from a victim. He was arrested 6 years ago and 41 million Naira was recovered from the proceeds of the crime which he voluntarily paid the victim (Owner of the money) back directly through the victim’s account and also he confessed on video and in written format that he bought Honda Accord 2008 Model and 7 million Naira Landed property from the 94 million Naira he defrauded and that he has squandered the remaining 31 million Naira on hotels and girlfriends.
Furthermore, he submitted the car and land documents which was registered as exhibit before he was charged to court and after some years he was discharged not acquitted from court because the complainant was not coming to court as most Nigerians do.
The land document and car that were registered as exhibit are still kept with the exhibit keeper in Lagos State.
According to our source, criminal will be re-arrestd and charge to court again as he was not acquitted by the court of law also the complainant has assured the Police that he is in Nigeria now and he is ready to be attending the court process until his case is concluded this time around because he said he will not leave his balance of 31 million Naira to the said fraudster.
Mr. Mojeed was arrested in 2014 on accusation of defrauding a Nigerian Businessman based abroad of almost a hundred million naira. When he was arrested by the them special anti robbery squad (SARS), he was said to have paid some part of the money directly to the account of the man he defrauded even before he was charged to court and that is the money he is now claiming Kyari forcefully took from him.
Further investigation into these allegations revealed that the SUV car Mojeed accused Kyari to have personally taken from him was seized and had been at the Police exhibit garage at Ikeja Lagos till date.
Anybody who had followed Abba Kyari impeccable and unsullied record of integrity and incorrigible track record will readily tell you that Abba Kyari’s tenure as the OC SARS Lagos Police Command was one of the brightest era of crime fighting in the history of policing in Lagos State and Nigeria in general.
DCP Abba Kyari’s outstanding performance during this period earned him over three Governor Commendation Awards, several consecutive Inspector General of Police Commendation Awards, Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria CRAN Star Awards for Gallantry and Impeccable Service among countless awards by Civil Society and media Organizations.
Consequently, any attempt to tarnish the image of this Nigerian Super Cop who in some quarters has gained an heroic stature for his service to his fatherland will be an exercise in futility. Nigerians should also be alert and be on the lookout for more of these spurious and unsubstantiated allegations by vengeful criminals and other shady characters who will want to take advantage of current developments to take their pound of flesh from police officers who had brought them to face the consequences of their criminal actions and deeds.
With 50k now a Lawyer can write Pettition for you based on any false allegations you make without prove against anybody and you can leak it to the media and if the person in question have a name or he is known In the country it will sell. But legal actions will always be taken because criminals like this has to serve as deterrents to others Barr. Nuhu pointed out.
If it’s true that somebody defrauded him of 41million Naira, what is he doing for the past six years, Why didn’t he go to the ICPC, EfCC or Court as he also mentioned.
Meanwhile, some Human Right Lawyers have declared on their own that they will sue the fraudster for defamation of character this Friday.
