The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has granted bail to DCP Abba Kyari on charges bordering on money laundering.<\/p>\n
Apart from money laundering charges, Kyari is also facing a primary charge of cocaine trafficking, for which he has been denied bail.<\/p>\n
One of his lawyers, Hamza N. Dantani, shared the news of the court granting Kyari bail on the money laundering charges on his Facebook page on Thursday.<\/p>\n
He wrote: \u201dAlhamudullhi! Abba Kyari\u2019s Bail Granted by Federal High Court Abuja today.\u201d<\/p>\n
Recall that Kyari\u2019s trial centres around the $61,400 cash and 25kg parcel of cocaine seized as evidence and believed to have been used as bribe to influence operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).<\/p>\n
According to the NDLEA, Kyari allegedly attempted to bribe a senior agency officer with $61,400 at a restaurant in Abuja to prevent testing a portion of the seized cocaine connected to two individuals arrested for drug pushing.<\/p>\n
He is also under investigation after the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States of America indicted him in the case of fraud involving Instagram celebrity Ramon Abbas, aka Hushpuppi.<\/p>\n
Kyari was arrested and has been in detention since February 14, 2022, after he was declared wanted by NDLEA over alleged drug links.<\/p>\n
Justice Nwite of the Federal High Court had refused Kyari\u2019s bail application on charges relating to trafficking of cocaine.<\/p>\n
The bail application was also rejected at the Court of Appeal.<\/p>\n
