A Federal High Court in Abuja has said the bail granted to DCP Abba Kyari is contidional.
Recall that today, the court granted N50 million bail to suspended DCP Abba Kyari.
This comes after the NDLEA had some months ago filed a 24-count charge, marked FHC/ABJ/CR/408/2022, against Kyari and his two siblings, Mohammed Baba Kyari and Ali Kyari, in respect of which they were arraigned last month.
In a ruling on Thursday, Justice James Omotosho granted conditional bail to Abba Kyari at the sum of N50 million with two sureties in like sum.
Justice Omotosho added that the sureties must have property worth N250 million within the jurisdiction, among other conditions.
The judge, however, held that even when Abba Kyari meets the bail 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 in illicit drugs.
He has been denied bail twice in the other case pending before Justice Emeka Nwite, also of the Federal High Court, Abuja.
His two siblings were earlier granted bail by Justice Omotosho.
