Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja has declined to grant the bail application of suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari.
Justice Ekwo in a ruling says the application had been overtaken by events following an order of a sister court granting the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency’s permission to detain Kyari for another 14 days to enable it to conclude its investigation.
The judge, however, says he was inclined to hear Kyari’s fundamental enforcement rights suit with the urgency it deserves after the expiration of the 14-day court order.
He subsequently adjourned until March 15 to hear his application on his fundamental right enforcement.
