By Gbemisola Ajiboye
Abuja – The detained DCP Abba Kyari has dragged the Federal Government before a federal high court in Abuja over his arrest and detention by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA)

In the suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/182/22, and filed before the court on Monday, Kyari is seeking an order of court to immediately release him.

In the alternative, the suspended DCP, being held by the NDLEA over his alleged involvement in hard drug trafficking wants the court to admit him to bail on health grounds, pending the hearing and determination of his fundamental right enforcement application.

This development comes after the NDLEA had approached a Federal High Court in Abuja seeking permission to detain Kyari and other suspects beyond the stipulated 48 hours sanctioned by Nigerian law.

The NDLEA had accused and detained Kyari of being an accomplice to a drug ring, which operates on the Brazil-Ethiopia-Nigeria route, peddling deadly substances, notably cocaine.

The NDLEA had claimed that Kyari was caught on camera handing over $61,400 in cash to bribe its operative and facilitate the release of 17 KG of seized cocaine.

The suspended police officer is being detained at the NDLEA headquarters facility in Abuja alongside three other suspended accomplices in the police namely Sunday Ubuah, an ACP; Bawa James, an assistant superintendent of police, (ASP); Simon Arigba, a police inspector and John Nuhu, among others.
