An Abuja Federal High Court has granted former Force Intelligence Response Team (IRT) Commander, DCP Abba Kyari, a two-week bail.
According to reports, the bail was granted to allow Kyari to attend to family matters, specifically the completion of his late mother’s burial rites.
The court has scheduled a hearing for May 31 to determine Kyari’s bail application in the drug-related case brought against him by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
Kyari has been facing drug-related charges since his arrest on February 14, 2022.
Separately, the Borno Youth Forum has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider releasing Kyari.
The Forum cited his notable achievements in combating Boko Haram terrorists and kidnappers during his tenure as head of the IGP IRT.
