A federal high court sitting in Abuja has refused the bail application of suspended deputy commissioner of police(DCP) Abba Kayri.
Justice Inyang Ekwo in his ruling held that the application has been overtaken by events.
On February 14, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) declared Kyari wanted “over his involvement in a 25kg cocaine deal”.
Few hours later, the police announced his arrest and subsequent transfer to the custody of the anti drug agency.
Kyari filed a fundamental human rights suit against the federal government , describing the drug trafficking allegations against him as trumped-up.
As a result, Kyari approached Abuja federal high court to seek bail on the grounds of ill health.
