The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has alleged that suspended Deputy Police Commissioner, DCP, Abba Kyari, plans to escape from Nigeria.
The agency, during the hearing In court on Monday, opposed granting bail to Kyari, arguing that he planned to flee Nigeria to avoid facing punishment for his crimes adding that he had the capacity to interfere with witnesses.
The argument was made in a 21-paragraph counter-affidavit.

While adopting the counter-affidavit before trial Justice Emeka Nwite said the NDLEA, through its Director, Prosecution & Legal Services, Mr. Joseph Sunday, stressed that the disgraced officer has the capacity to interfere with its witnesses.
The NDLEA had linked Kyari and four former members of the Police Intelligence Response Team, IRT, to an international drug cartel.
The former IRT boss was caught alongside the four officers after they attempted to bribe an agent of the NDLEA with $61,000 to facilitate the release of seized cocaine.
The case was further adjourned till March 28.
