Abba Kyari’s wife faints as court defers ruling on bail application

A lady identified as wife of the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Abba Kyari, on Monday, fainted at the Federal High Court, Abuja.

She slumped and fell on the floor while men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) were leading Kyari and others away from the court premises.

The incident followed the deferment of ruling on Kyari’s bail application by presiding judge, Justice Emeka Nwite.

The judge deferred ruling on applications filed by Kyari, alongside six other persons facing drug trafficking charges, that they be released on bail pending the determination of the case against them.

The NDLEA had urged the court to deny Kyari and all the other Defendants bail. It told the court that Kyari would escape from the country and make himself unavailable for trial, should he be released from custody.
