A Federal High Court in Abuja has admitted the suspended DCP Abba Kyari
on a N50 million bail in a case of asset declaration filed against him by the
National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
The NDLEA had filed a 24-count charge, against Kyari and his two siblings
(Mohammed Baba Kyari and Ali Kyari) for refusing to declare assets as requested
by the anti-narcotic agency.
Ruling on the charge yesterday, Justice James Omotosho admitted Abba Kyari
on a N50 million conditional bail with two sureties in like sum. The Judge added
that the sureties must have property worth N25 million within the jurisdiction,
among other conditions.
The Court, however, held that, even when Abba Kyari meets the bail conditions,
the endorsement of his release warrant is subject to the outcome of a case in
which he is being tried with FOUR OTHERS on alleged involvement in dealing
illicit drugs.
