Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja, on Wednesday, dismissed a fresh bail application the detained Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, filed to be released on bail, pending the conclusion of his trial.
Kyari is facing an eight-count charge bordering on drug trafficking brought against him by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NLDEA).
At today’s sitting, Justice Nwite, in a ruling, held that Kyari’s application lacked merit.
He stated that Kyari failed to establish any exceptional circumstance that would warrant the exercise of judicial discretion in his favour.

The trial judge said that the court had earlier dismissed a similar bail application that was brought before it and ordered an accelerated hearing of the case.
He said no evidence was shown to convince the court why it should depart from its earlier ruling.
Justice Nwite rejected Kyari’s application and approved that the NLDEA proceed with the prosecution of both Kyari and his co-defendants in the matter.
