The hope of suspended DCP Abba Kyari and his co-defendants facing trial over hard drug issues, to secure bail was dashed on Monday as Federal High Court, Abuja declined to grant their bail application.
In his ruling,Justice Emeka Nwite held that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) had placed sufficient evidence before the court to refuse the bail request.
Justice Nwite also rejected bail plea of Kyari’s co-defendants.
The NDLEA in its counter affidavit, held that it was inappropriate to grant bail to the applicant because of the facts and circumstances of the case, and described Kyari as “a flight risk.”arguing that if granted bail, Kyari might jump bail.
