Abba Kyari Granted Extended Bail

The suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Abba Kyari, who has been on bail after 27 months in detention over drug charges, has been granted an additional five days out of jail by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

This extension follows the recent death of his mother.

Initially released on a 14-day temporary bail in May to grieve his mother’s passing, Kyari has now sought an extension of his release until June 19, 2024, which coincides with the date set for the primary decision on his bail application. His attorney argued that Kyari has complied with all conditions of his release and has not impeded the legal process.

However, the prosecution’s lawyer, Mike Kasa Esq, opposed the extension but agreed to modify the terms of his release. Previously, the court mandated Kyari to deposit N50 million and secure a guarantor of the same amount. Additionally, the guarantor, who would also act as Kyari’s legal representative, was required to submit a copy of his bar certificate to the deputy registrar of the court.

Kyari, along with ACP Sunday Ubuah, ASP Bawa James, Inspectors Simon Agirigba, John Nuhu, and ASP John Umoru, who is reportedly on the run, was charged with drug offences in 2022. Two civilians accused alongside Kyari, Chibunna Patrick Umeibe and Emeka Alphonsus Ezenwanne, were found guilty and sentenced to two years in prison each after admitting to the crimes.
