Court Denies Abba Kyari, Four Others Bail

Court has denied Abba Kyari, and four others bail.

Glamtush reports that Justice Emeka Nwite of an Abuja Federal High Court on Tuesday refused to grant bail to suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari and four others.

The suspended Kyari alongside four others are answering questions to alleged hard drug trafficking offences preferred against them by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

Meanwhile, the Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed October 19, 20 and 21^st as the trial dates for the embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari and four others.

Justice Emeka Nwite fixed the trial dates in his ruling on Tuesday in the nation’s capital.

Kyari was arraigned alongside four suspended police officers including ACP Sunday Ubia, ASP James, Inspector Simon Agirigba and Inspector John Nuhu as 2nd to 5th defendants respectively.

Ruling on the bail application, Justice Emeka Nwite said the applicants failed to present sufficient materials and evidence to warrant the granting of the fresh application.

Justice Nwite, therefore, reaffirmed his earlier ruling of March 28, 2022, ordering an accelerated hearing.

Meanwhile, the suspects are to be remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja, pending the commencement of their trial in October.
