Court gives NDLEA 48 hours to reply Abba Kyari’s Bail Request

The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) to respond to a bail request filed by a suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari who is being held by the anti-narcotics agency over his alleged involvement in a 25 kg cocaine deal.

Kyari, a former head of the IGP Intelligence Response Team (IRT), instituted a lawsuit to regain his freedom after he was handed over to the NDLEA by the police in Abuja concerning the pending allegations of drug crime.

At today’s hearing, NDLEA’s lawyer, Mike Kassa, informed the judge, Inyang Ekwo, that the agency had not been served with Mr Kyari’s pending application for bail.

The judge stood down the proceedings for about 30 minutes to enable the applicant’s lawyer, Cynthia Ikenna, to serve a copy of the court document on Mr Kassa.

When the case resumed, NDLEA’s Director of Legal Services, Joseph Sunday, announced appearance and asked for an adjournment of the case to enable his agency to respond to the embattled Kyari’s bail request.

Subsequently, Ekwo ordered lawyers to parties in the suit to put their house in order, and adjourned the suit until February 28 for the hearing of the bail application.

He added that 137 Ukrainian citizens have been killed – both soldiers and civilians – in the first day of combat

He said in a video address that the Russians want to destroy Ukraine politically by liquidating the head of state.”

This comes as Western nations have stepped up financial sanctions on Russia’s banks and high-ranking officials, with the US cutting off high-tech exports to Russia butNato nations will not send troops to Ukraine

The US has ordered 7,000 additional troops to Europe – saying the deployment to Germany was intended to “reassure Nato allies” in the region
