EDITORIAL: Abba Kyari and the stench in Nigerian Police

By: Ukachuchwu Okorie

Nigeria is a divided country and Nigerians know. Those that created it know very well that it is bound to fail and collapse. Nigeria is a country of countries; few nations in the south, many in the north. Nigeria is a country ruled by invaders, but the distaste about it is that they are retrogressive. They are not nation-builders. Well, that is what colonial Britain wanted. Stupid Black Africans! Do they deserve any better? Their worst should lead them. As such, Nigeria’s story is that the worst amongst them are leaders and the ones celebrated. Everything bugs down to discrediting the Blackman so humanity laughs and considers them unfit.

Abba Kyari is a deputy commissioner of police in Nigeria from the Fulani ruling class in the north. Few days ago, a United States Court asked the FBI to arrest him for prosecution in the ongoing fraud and money laundering case against Instagram influencer, Ramon Olorunwa Abbas aka Ray Hushpuppi. Until the bubble got busted, the corrupt Buhari government had spent millions bribing Nigeria Journalists to launder his image. They tried to present him as a hero cop who caught kidnappers and criminals. He was recently drafted to Owerri to kill Biafran activists especially members of IPOB, and hundreds were sent to their graves.

The rise of Abba Kyari is the typical Nigeria story of elevating mediocrity in government circles. He represents the grave stench of corruption in the Nigeria police, which is an institution built on anti peoples practices. The Endsars protest summarizes Nigerians grievance against the police force. They kill innocent Nigerians, rape women, harvest organs for money, rig elections for politicians, molest and intimidate people. To sum it up, Nigerians do not trust their police. Many know Abba Kyari is a killer and corrupt, but the system intimidates them.
