Former Commander of the Force Intelligence Unit of the Nigeria Police Force, Mr. Abba Kyari, has been granted bail to attend his mother’s funeral.
The bail, said to be for two weeks comes ahead of his bail application ruling which was scheduled for May 31. Kyari has been detention for 27 months after his arrest over aiding and abeting drugs trafficking.
The embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police was granted the two week bail by an Abuja Federal High Court. The case involving drug-related charges was brought forth by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.
Kyari became a celebrated police officer after he was credited with bursting many crime cases. He was relieved from all police duties pending the outcome of an internal investigation into his alleged connection with Gucci King, popular alleged fraudster Ramon Abbas “Hushpuppi”.
