A federal high court in Abuja has refused to hear an application by the suspended deputy commissioner of police (DCP), Abba Kyari seeking bail from custody of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on the grounds of ill health.
In an ex parte application brought before the court on Monday, Kyari through his counsel, Cynthia Ikenna, told the court that his health has deteriorated.
Ikenna prayed the court to release her client who is diabetic and hypertensive on bail pending the determination of the substantive suit.
She said the substantive matter is a fundamental human right suit in which Kyari is challenging the false allegations against him.
