The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Monday, opened its case against the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP, Abba Kyari, before the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja. At a resumed sitting the agency witness, Patricia Afolabi, who is attached to its forensic unit, testified before the court. The witness told the court […]

“I then issued an analysis report of my findings, which I signed and sealed. I repacked them as exhibits in a large envelope and addressed it to officer-in-charge, NDLEA Abuja.”While cross-examining the witness, Kyari’s lawyer, asked her if it was true that every suspect in a drug deal must be present before analysis is conducted, a question the witness answered in the negative.

She said it was not customary that all suspects would be present when substances are also handed over for analysis. Continuing, the witness, who said she has over 30 years of experience, said: “I was not present when the drug was recovered. I was not present when NDLEA received it.”She confirmed that NDLEA operatives are stationed at all entry points in Nigeria, including at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu.

Asked if she was aware of it was NDLEA that recovered the cocaine at the Airport in Enugu, the witness said she was not aware.Meanwhile, the court adjourned the matter till Tuesday, July 19 to enable counsel to the other Defendants to cross-examine the prosecuting witness.
