The recent tragic passing of the mother of DCP Abba Kyari, Yachilla, has raised concerns about getting justice because the allegations levelled against Abba Kyari are bailable in nature.
While offering prayers for the eternal repose of the deceased, we all must acknowledge the significant contributions of the seasoned police officer to the development of Nigeria's security at large.
DCP Kyari no doubt excelled in his chosen profession hence this clarion call to help remind everyone of the preciousness of life and the importance of standing together in times of tragedy.
This is evident through the genuine massive support indicating the outpouring of love and condolences to show solidarity to Abba Kyari and his family during this difficult moment.
This case raises a number of issues that border on the violation of fundamental human rights of Abba Kyari who played a vital role in the police service and will continue to give his best to the nation.
It is therefore time for the federal government to honor and respect his sacrifices to our dear nation. Otherwise, people of his caliber and patriotism would be demoralised and lose confidence in the true meaning of honesty and service to the nation.
We therefore call on the President Bola Tinubu administration to wade into the matter and order for his release and reinstatement to service.
This would be a fitting tribute to his mother's memory and a testament to the nation's commitment to justice, fairness, and recognition of outstanding and unprecedented service to Nigeria.
