KYARI’S BAIL APPLICATION PUT ON HOLD UNTILL…

By Ebor Cletus Ralph Jr.

On health grounds, Kyari’s attorney, C.O Ikena, had in an ex-parte motion marked: FHC/ANJ/CS/182/22 sought bail for her client. .

 

“My lord, his (Kyari’s) condition at the custody is critical. I filed a motion to admit the applicant to a bail on health grounds pending the determination of the substantive matter,” she stated. 

 

The embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Abba Kyari, has said he is suffering from diabetes and hypertension.

 

The former Super cop, is currently being detained by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) over alleged drug trafficking. The bail application is before a Federal High Court, sitting in Abuja

 

The judge then asked the lawyer what the substantive matter was all about and she said: “The substantive matter is about infringement on his fundamental rights and false allegations.”

 

Justice Ekwo went further to ask: “Where is the applicant?”

 

“He is at the NDLEA’s custody my lord,” she responded.

 

The embattled senior police officer was arrested and handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) by the Police in connection with the 25 kilogrammes of cocaine seized from a drug cartel.

 

The presiding judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo, who declined to grant the plea, ordered that the respondent, NDLEA, be put on notice.

 

The preciding judge told the lawyer that going by the averments in the application, the respondent (NDLEA) would have to be put on notice and a date fixed to hear the motion.

 

He said this was so because, the averment Ikena made would need a response of the NDLEA.

 

On this ground, Justice Ekwo, however, insisted that the NDLEA be put on notice.

 

The matter was thereafter adjourned until April 24 for the motion to be taken.
