A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has denied the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari bail.
Justice Emeka Nwite, who presided over the court held that Kyari’s bail is at the discretion of the court in line with section 161 (2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act.
It was stated that Kyari had not presented any evidence to merit the court granting him bail.
The judge had granted the former boss of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) temporary two-week bail to bury his mother on May 22.
However, the two weeks were extended by a week upon an application filed by the defendant for an extension of the bail.
On June 1, Kyari perfected the bail conditions and was released the same day.
At today’s proceedings, Justice Emeka Nwite refused to extend his earlier order but granted accelerated hearing in the case.
