Federal High Court in Abuja has granted suspended DCP Abba Kyari ₦50 million bail in a charge in which he and two of his siblings were accused of failing to declare assets to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.
NDLEA had filed the 24-count charge against Kyari and his brothers — Mohammed Baba Kyari and Ali Kyari.
In a ruling today, Thursday, Justice James Omotosho granted conditional bail to Abba Kyari in the sum of ₦50 million with two sureties in like sum.
Justice Omotosho added that the sureties must have property worth ₦25m within the court’s jurisdiction, among other conditions.
However, the judge held that even when Kyari meets the conditions, the endorsement of his release warrant is subject to developments in a sister-case in which he is being tried with four others on alleged involvement in dealing illicit drugs.
His two siblings were earlier granted bail by Justice Omotosho.
