Executive director of Rule of Law Accountability and Advocacy Centre (RULAAC), Okechukwu Nwanguma, has advised newly appointed Intelligence Response Team (IRT) boss, Tunji Disu, not to retain any member of fraud tainted Abba Kyari’s team.
Disu succeeds Abba Kyari as IRT boss after Kyari was indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for aiding the fraud scheme of Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi.
Nwanguma says retaining members of Abba Kyari’s team, which is reputed for corruption and extortion, including extrajudicial murders, is the fastest way to fail.
He says: ” My first advise to DCP Olatunji Disu, the new Commander of Intelligence Response Team (IRT), would be that he should disband or request the IGP to disband the current team.It’s a murderous and extortionist team and they will corrupt him.
“He needs to set up his own team – carefully selected and oriented with new professional standards of operation that will be intolerant to abuse and corruption.
“Any Commander is bound to fail if he retains and works with the same team that’s groomed to kill and rob.”
