BREAKING: Court rejects Abba Kyari’s request for bail to travel for medical treatment

The suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP, Abba Kyari on Monday asked the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court to grant him bail on health grounds.

Mr Kyari dragged the Nigerian government to court today, a week after he was held by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, over his alleged involvement in trafficking about 25 kilogrammes of cocaine.

In his suit, FHC/ABJ/CS/182/22, Mr Kyari asked the court to order the NDLEA to grant him bail for him to proceed on medical treatment while his fundamental rights enforcement application was being heard.

But Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo declined to grant the plea in a motion ex-parte brought by Kyari’s attorneys led by Cynthia Ikena.

The judge asked that the NDLEA be put on notice about the proceeding.

Justice Ekwo ordered that all the relevant processes should be served on FG which was cited as the sole Respondent, even as he adjourned the case till February 24 for hearing.
