The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has granted former Commander of the Force Intelligence Response Team DCP Abba Kyari temporary bail for two weeks to go bury his mother.
Kyari was granted bail to the tune of N50 million and a surety in like sum.
Presiding judge Justice Emeka Nwite declared that the surety, who shall be Kyari’s counsel in the matter, should deposit a copy of his call-to-bar certificate to the deputy registrar of the court.
Kyari was also ordered to deposit his international passport with the court and always report to any formation of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) nearest to him within the period the bail was granted for.
Assets declaration: Court grants Abba Kyari conditional N50m bail
Justice Nwite gave the order pending the ruling of Kyari’s bail application slated for May 31, 2024.
Although Kyari lost his mother, Yachilla Kyari, on May 5, 2024, it is not clear if it formed part of the reasons for granting him bail.
In 2021, Kyari was indicted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the case of alleged internet fraudster Ramon Abbas, popularly known as Hushpuppi.
Kyari was later arrested by the NDLEA in February 2020 for alleged drug-related offences.
He has since been remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja.
