A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has once again deny the bail application for the former Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari, over lack of substantive conviction and unavailability of new evidence.
The Presiding judge, Justice Emeka Nwite argued that the former cop has not given sufficient grounds for the bail application to be granted.
Furthermore, the court maintained that the new bail application is in no way different from the ones the court earlier rejected. The judge consequently fixed October 19, 20 and 21 for the continuation of the trial.
Abba Kyari was one of the brightest cops in the Nigerian Police and was the leader of the Inspector General of Police Response Team that recorded immense victory against Boko Haram, bandits and kidnappers in the country.
He was however arrested after several damning report surfaces online about him. Some of the charges against Kyari ranges from drug related offences to money laundering, extortion, aiding and abating crimes and collaboration with internet fraudsters.
The United States government also requested the Nigerian government to extradite Kyari into the country, in other to answer some questions.
