Suspended Police Officer, Abba Kyari’s Wife Slumps In Court

Suspended police officer, Abba Kyari’s wife slumped at the federal high court in Abuja today March 14, 2022.

It was gathered that she slumped and fell on the floor while her husband and other defendants were being led out from the court premises by operatives of the National Drug Law and Enforcement Ageny (NDLEA).

This occurred shortly after the trial judge, Emeka Nwite deferred on ruling on the bail application filed by the embattled police officer and other defendants.

The judge deferred ruling on applications filed by Kyari, alongside six other persons facing drug trafficking charges, that they be released on bail pending the determination of the case against them.

Recall that Kyari was arraigned on eight counts bordering on conspiracy, obstruction, and dealing in cocaine, and other related offences.

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.
