365Daily– Embattled suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari’s bail application before a Federal High Court, Abuja, has been declined.
Kyari was arraigned by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for prohibited drug related offences.
Presiding judge, Justice Emeka Nwite, in a ruling, held that the the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) had placed sufficient evidence before the court to refuse the bail request.
This is just as he also rejected bail plea of Kyari’s co-defendants.
The NDLEA, in its counter affidavit, held that it was inappropriate to grant bail to the applicant because of the facts and circumstances of the case.
The anti-narcotic agency described Kyari as “a flight risk,” who, if granted bail, might jump bail.
It also argued that the applicant might interfere with the evidence if granted bail, and urged the court to dismiss his bail plea.
NDLEA further said that the medical challenges of the applicant was not beyond the capacity of the agency’s medical personnel.
The judge, in the ruling, aligned with NDLEA’s arguments and dismissed the request.
