The suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari has been granted bail by the Federal High Court in Abuja, in 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.
In a ruling on Thursday, 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 N25m within the court’s jurisdiction, 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 which he is being tried with four others on alleged involvement in dealing illicit drugs.
His two siblings were earlier granted bail by Justice Omotosho.
