A Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday granted suspended police officer Abba Kyari N50 million bail following charges of failure to declare assets to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
NDLEA filed the 24-count charge against Kyari and his brothers — Mohammed Kyari and Ali Kyari.
In a ruling, Justice James Omotosho granted conditional bail to Kyari, adding that he must produce two sureties in like sum.

Justice Omotosho added that the sureties must have property worth N25 million within the court’s jurisdiction, among other conditions.
However, the judge held that even when Kyari meets the conditions, the endorsement of his release warrant is subject to developments in a related case in which he is being tried with four others on alleged involvement in dealing illicit drugs.
His two siblings were earlier granted bail by Justice Omotosho.
