After 18 months in prison, DCP Kyari granted bail 

Suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, was on Thursday granted bail after spending 18 months in prison.

Justice Kolawole Omotosho of a Federal High Court in Abuja granted him bail under stringent conditions.

Kyari has been  in detention since his arrest in 2022.

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) had declared the former super cop wanted over his alleged involvement in a 25kg cocaine deal.

He was arrested and arraigned in court. The court had ordered his remand in Kuje Prison, Abuja.

The police had set up a panel to probe the conduct of the former head of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Inspector General of Police.

He was subsequently suspended from the force.
