The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has conceded a N50m bail to suspended DCP Abba Kyari in a charge in which he and his two kin were blamed for neglecting to pronounce resources for the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, Vanguard reports.
NDLEA had documented the 24-count charge as a detriment for Kyari and his siblings, Mohammed Baba Kyari and Ali Kyari.
Abba Kyari likewise faces an essential charge of cocaine dealing, for which he has been denied bail. Be that as it may, his lawyer, Hamza N. Dantani, shared the insight about the court conceding Kyari abandon Thursday, July 6.
He wrote on his Facebook page: ”Alhamudullhi! Abba Kyari’s Bail Granted by Federal High Court Abuja today.”
In the ruling, Justice James Omotosho who granted Kyari the conditional bail, added that his sureties must have property worth N25m within the court's jurisdiction, among other conditions.
Kyari was arrested and has been in detention since February 14, 2022, after he was declared wanted by NDLEA over alleged drug links.
According to the NDLEA, Kyari allegedly attempted to bribe a senior agency officer with $61,400 at a restaurant in Abuja to prevent testing a portion of the seized cocaine connected to two individuals arrested for drug trafficking.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States of America also indicted him in the case of fraud involving Instagram celebrity Ramon Abbas, aka Hushpuppi and has since called for his extradition.
Justice Nwite of the Federal High Court had refused Kyari’s bail application on charges relating to trafficking of cocaine.
