Abba Kyari, the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, has returned to
prison after being denied bail by the Federal High Court in Abuja. Abba Kyari, along with
two other top police officers, faces drug-related charges. Justice Emeka Nwite denied
bail, citing the defendants' failure to produce adequate evidence to warrant the
court's discretion in granting release. The trial judge emphasised the need of using the court's discretion carefully, which led to the
decision not to issue bail to the defendants. This decision comes after Kyari was
previously given a two-week temporary bail of N50 million with an agreement in the same amount to attend his late mother's burial.
