The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA has alleged that embattled former head of the IGP Intelligence Response Team, DCP, Abba Kyari, was making attempts to escape from Nigeria.
Tracknews reports that Kyari and his co-defendant, Sunday Ubia on Monday pleaded with the Federal High Court, Abuja to grant them bail.
The DCP and Ubia through their lawyer, Mahmud Magaji, told Justice Emeka Nwite that their offences are bailable.
He further stated that the constitution gave the court the discretionary power to grant his clients bail.
Counsel to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Joseph Sunday, however, opposed the bail application.
However, NDLEA claimed that Kyari planned to flee Nigeria to avoid facing punishment for his crimes.
The agency at the court hearing today urged the Federal High Court not to grant Kyari bail.
