Court Denies Abba Kyari Fresh Bail Application
Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Abuja division has again denied Abba Kyari, suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police bail.
The judge on Tuesday refused to admit Mr Kyari and the other applicants to bail on their failure to present sufficient evidence to warrant the granting of the fresh application.
While ruling on the bail application, Justice Nwite said the reasons tendered for the fresh bail application had earlier been addressed in Kyari’s other bail application which he was denied.
The judge again ordered an accelerated hearing of the case and fixed October 19, 20 and 21st for the trial of Mr. Kyari and his co-defendants.
Kyari who is being detained at the Kuje correctional facility in Abuja is being prosecuted by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) alongside four others over alleged drug trafficking offences.
Other defendants in the suit include ACP Sunday Ubia, ASP James, Inspector Simon Agirigba and Inspector John Nuhu.
