Alleged Drug Deal: Court Denies Abba Kyari, Co-defendant Bail
A Federal High Court in Abuja has denied the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari and Assistant Commissioner of Police, Sunday Ubua, bail.
Tracknews reports that the former Commander of the Intelligence Response (IRT) commander and his team member had filed a bail application before the court.
This was after the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in a suit marked FHC/ABJ/57/2022, had charged Kyari and four others for alleged involvement in drug dealings.
Others charged are Bawa James, Simon Agirigba, John Nuhu, Chibunna Patrick Umeibe and Emeka Alphonsus Ezenwanne.
Upon arraignment, Kyari and four other defendants pleaded not guilty, while the sixth and seventh defendants pleaded guilty and begged the court to “have mercy”.
In a ruling on Monday morning, Justice Emeka Nwite held that the prosecution has placed sufficient materials before the court to warrant the refusal of bail to both senior police officers.
The presiding judge, however, granted an accelerated hearing of the case.
The judge also rejected the bail applications by Inspector Simon Agirgba; Inspector, John Nuhu.
