Bail: Abba Kyari’s wife slumps in court

Ramatu Yakubu Kyari, wife of the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, on Monday, slumped at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

She slumped and fell on the floor while men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency were leading Kyari and others away from the court premises.

The middle aged woman, who wore a black Hijab, fell on the floor while armed operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) were leading Kyari and the others away from the court premises.

The development followed the deferment of the ruling on Kyari’s bail application by the presiding judge, Justice Emeka Nwite.

The judge deferred ruling on applications filed by Kyari, alongside six other persons facing drug trafficking charges, that they be released on bail pending the determination of the case against them.

Furthermore, the judge adjourned the bail application of Kyari and others until March 28.

Justice Nwite adjourned the bail application after Kyari’s lawyers and the prosecution counsel argued their position for and against the request.

The judge also ordered that Kyari and six others should be remanded in NDLEA custody pending the determination of the matter. Meanwhile, Ramatu later came out of the office and was assisted by some close friends and family members.

While she was being attended to, the NDLEA officers waited for Kyari outside the court for several minutes.
