By Akinwale Kasali

In a compassionate move, Abba Kyari, suspended and detained former Commander of Force Intelligence Response Team of the Nigeria Police, has been granted a two week bail by the Federal High Court Sitting in Abuja,  to enable him attend his mother funeral.

Kyari is facing trial for drug-related charges filed by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.

The former IRT Boss had been in detention following his arrest on February 14, 2022, by the NDLEA.

The court said the two-week bail was to allow Kyari return home to conclude his mother’s burial rites.

The court subsequently set Friday, May 31 for determination of his bail application.
