Justice Inyang Eden Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja has refused to order the Federal Government to release the detained Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari from custody.

Rather, the Judge ruled that Kyari should put the Federal Government on notice of the existence of the suit he instituted against it.

The suspended DCP had dragged the Federal Government before the court challenging his continued detention by an agency of government

In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/182/22, Kyari sought an order of the court to immediately release him and in the alternative, the suspended DCP, who is being held by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) over his alleged involvement in hard drug trafficking, asked the court to admit him to bail in liberal conditions.
