The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), has disclose why the anti-narcotic agency cannot parade (DCP), Abba Kyari former Commander of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Nigeria Police Force.
The Director of Media and Advocacy, NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, in a series of post on its Twitter handle on Sunday, said the agency cannot parade Abba Kyari over drug trafficking allegations because it is not the agency’s custom.
According to Babafemi, the NDLEA only posts photos and videos of some recoveries and suspects.
Babafemi said: ”A lot of people are mixing things up here. We do not parade suspects. We have never paraded any suspects. That is the truth. I have never brought any suspects before newsmen.
“What we do most times is that when we issue a statement on our activities, we select some pictures of the exhibits, sometimes with the suspects there, just to show the public because we have a very cynical society that even with pictures, still, a number of people would say it is not possible.
“So, you sometimes need pictures or videos to support the statement you are issuing out so that people can actually see and believe that.
“Beyond that, some of these things also serve as deterrents to would-be offenders or those who are already in such line of criminality so that they can see that one day they can also be caught.”
