One Voice Development Initiative (OneVoiD), a Non Governmental Organisation (NGO), has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to grant Presidential Pardon to DCP Abba Kyari.
This, the group said, is following his antecedent of unwavering determination and commitment to safeguard the country.
In an appeal letter signed by its National President, Abbas Abdullahi, the group said: “DCP Abba Kyari has exemplified unwavering dedication and exceptional bravery in his service to our nation, particularly in the relentless fight against banditry, kidnappings and insurgency. The allegations against him are not genuine, rather they are false, personal vendetta and malicious set up.
“His exploits and contributions to national security have been widely acknowledged and have significantly bolstered the efforts of law enforcement agencies in combating these grave threats to our society.”
According to the group: “In the face of unprecedented challenges posed by criminal elements seeking to destabilise our nation, DCP Abba Kyari has demonstrated remarkable leadership, resourcefulness, and resilience.
“His strategic initiatives and operational acumen have resulted in numerous successful operations leading to the apprehension of notorious criminals/Terrorist/Kidnappers and the disruption of their nefarious activities.”
The group further noted that: “At this critical juncture in Nigeria’s history, characterised by escalating security concerns and the urgent need for capable and committed individuals to lead the charge against insecurity, DCP Abba Kyari’s expertise, experience, and dedication are indispensable assets to our nation.
“His continued involvement and leadership in the fight against crime are vital to safeguarding the lives and properties of our fellow citizens and preserving the integrity of our beloved country.
The group, therefore, appealed to the President to exercise his prerogative of mercy and grant a presidential pardon to DCP Abba Kyari, recognizing his invaluable service and sacrifices in defence of Nigeria.
“By extending clemency to a distinguished officer whose contributions have been instrumental in safeguarding our collective security, you would not only affirm the principles of justice and fairness but also reinforce public confidence in the administration of justice.
“We trust in your wisdom and leadership to consider this appeal in the best interest of Nigeria and its citizens,” they said in their appeal,” the group further appealed.
