Court Sends DCP Abba Kyari, Others To Kuje Prison Because He May Jump Bail If Released

Federal High Court sitting in Abuja and presided over by Justice Emeka Nwite on Monday denied suspended DCP Abba Kyari bail and ordered the criminal suspect and six others to be remanded in Kuje correctional centre.

The court held that the NDLEA has placed sufficient evidence before the court enough for it to refuse bail.

The NDLEA in its counter affidavits to Mr Kyari’s bail application held that it is inappropriate to grant bail to the applicant because of the facts and circumstances of the case.

The applicant is already facing extradition on charges of wire fraud.

The 2nd applicant who is an Assistant Superintendent of police is under investigation for money laundering and may face charges on same.

The applicant have had dealings with criminals in line of his duty and may be incline to engage them in interfering with the evidence.

The Drug Law Agency said the medical challenges of the applicant, DCP Abba Kyari is not beyond the capacity of the NDLEA.

Adding, the applicant, DCP Abba Kyari is a flight risk and might jump bail.
