Former Minister Urges Presidential Pardon for Abba Kyari Amidst Legal Concerns

Solomon Dalung, a former Nigerian minister, has called on the federal government to grant a presidential pardon to Abba Kyari, the former deputy commissioner of police. Dalung expressed deep concern over Kyari's ongoing detention and prosecution, describing it as a travesty of justice.

He argued that Kyari's detention undermines Nigeria's justice system and represents a double standard. Dalung urged President Bola Tinubu and the Attorney General to drop charges against Kyari for the sake of national healing and reconciliation.
