The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Tuesday, rejected fresh bail applications by suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari and four of his co-defendants.

His co-defendants are suspended Police Officers named ACP Sunday Ubia, ASP James, Inspector Simon Agirigba and Inspector John Nuhu.

The defendants had been remanded at Kuje Correctional Centre pending the outcome of the trial on drug-related charges after they were arraigned on March 7 by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA)

Ruling on the bail application, Justice Emeka Nwite noted that the defendants failed to present sufficient materials and evidence to warrant the granting of the fresh applications.

Therefore, Justice Nwite restated his earlier ruling of March 28, 2022, ordering an accelerated hearing and fixed October 19, 20 and 21 as the trial dates.
