Abba Kyari Remanded In Prison Custody

By Gideon Njoku

Suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, has been ordered by a Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja, to be remanded in Prison Custody.

Sharing the same fate with him are his co-accused Police Officers.

This followed the refusal of their bail application by the Court.

The Honourable Justice Emeka Nwite, on Monday, March 28, 2022, ruled that there is sufficient evidence before the Court to warrant the refusal of bail to them. He opted for an accelerated hearing of the case. Thereafter, he ordered that they be transferred from the custody of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, where they have been since their arrest in February 2022, to the Kuje Correctional Centre, a situation they were afraid of.

Abba Kyari and Co. are being prosecuted by the NDLEA on Drug charges. They were accused of being, allegedly, members of a Drug cartel.
