Court declines bail to two other Abba Kyari’s co-defendants

A Federal High Court in Abuja has declined the request for bail by two Inspectors of Police – Simon Agirgba and John Nuhu – charged with suspended DCP Abba Kyari on offences of illegal dealing in drugs.

Justice Emeka Nwite, in a ruling on Monday held that the prosecution has successfully established why bail should not be granted the two defendants.

Justice Nwite held that having considered the affidavit evidence supplied by parties and proof of evidence, he was convinced that the prosecution has successfully raised reasonable presumption of criminal responsibility on the part of the defendants.

The judge granted an accelerated hearing of the case.

In the two rulings read by the judge on Monday morning, he declined bail to Kyari, Ubua, Agirgba and Nuhu.
