A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday, dismissed the fresh bail application filed by suspended DCP Abba Kyari.
Justice Emeka Nwite, in a ruling, held that Kyari has not given sufficient grounds for the application to be granted.
Justice Nwite said the detained police officer failed to raise new facts in his latest application after being denied the earlier bail request.
The presiding judge consequently adjourned the matter until October 19, 20, and 21 for trail continuation.

Justice Nwite had, on July 20, fixed today for the ruling on the bail plea filed by Abba Kyari and other police officers charged by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for a drug offence.
Kyari had prayed the court for another bail following the attack on Kuje Correctional Centre by terrorists who freed scores of their members.
Kyari and other defendants are being detained in the Kuje Correctional Centre.
The correctional centre was attacked by terrorists of the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) on July 5.
The Federal Government said 879 detainees escaped during the attack, including all 68 imprisoned Boko Haram members.
