The suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Abba Kyari and four other officers facing trials over alleged Cocaine deal have landed in Kuje prison custody.
Prison authorities said there would be no special treatment for anyone of them.
Abba Kyari it was learnt has rejected food offered him by the Nigerian Correctional Service and opted for the food prepared by his wife or other family members.
Justice Emeka Nwike of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Monday ruled that Kyari and others standing trials before him be taken to Kuje custodial centre, asserting that the National Drug Laws Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) had placed sufficient materials before the court to warrant refusal of bail to Kyari and co-defendants.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency had in the charge before the court, accused Kyari and the other four officers of conspiracy, obstruction and dealing in cocaine worth 17.55kg.
Other former members of the Police IRT unit denied bail by the court are ACP Sunday Ubia, Inspector Simon Agirgba, Inspector John Nuhu and James Bawa.
Findings on Wednesday showed that Kyari and his co-defendants have been settling down in the custodial centre but sources said the DCP has largely kept to himself since his arrival on Monday.
Kuje prison authorities have however dismissed insinuations that they could harm saying that Kyari and others are safe in their facilities.
