During the sitting presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, on Monday, February 28, the court ruled that Kyari’s bail application has been overtaken by events.
The court further granted the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency’s prayers to detain Kyari for another 14 days to enable it to conclude its investigation.
The embattled super cop had filed a fundamental human rights suit against the federal government, describing the drug trafficking allegations against him as false.
Kyari, through his lawyer, had, on February 21, approached the court with an ex-parte motion and originating summons seeking bail and asking the court to enforce his fundamental human rights which he alleged had been breached by unlawful arrest and detention.
Kyari, in the main suit, urged the court to make an order directing the NDLEA to pay him N500 million for infringing on his rights.
He also asked the court to direct the agency to tender a public apology in national dailies.
Justice Inyang Ekwo then adjourned until March 15 to hear Kyari’s application to demand his fundamental right enforcement.
