AMILOADED MEDIA HUB NEWS UPDATE
The Nigerian Correctional Service, NCoS, has confirmed the release of the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police DCP, Abba Kyari.
Spokesman of the FCT Command of the NCoS, Adamu Duza confirmed this in a short message.
He said Kyari had been able to meet the bail conditions set by the court and has therefore been released.
“DCP Kyari has perfected his bail conditions, and has since been released today,” he stated.
Recall that in July last year, a Federal High Court in Abuja granted Kyari N50 million bail. It was on 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 the ruling, Justice James Omotosho granted conditional bail to Abba Kyari in the sum of N50 million with two sureties in like sum.
Justice Omotosho added that the sureties must have property worth N25 million within the court’s jurisdiction. This was 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 the referenced case, he is being tried with four others on alleged involvement in dealing illicit drugs.
His two siblings were earlier granted bail by Justice Omotosho.
