Update: Court Denies Embattled Super Cop, Abba Kyari Bail

Embattled Nigerian super cop, Abba Kyari has been denied bail by the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court

 In a ruling on Tuesday, Justice Emeka Nwite held that Mr Kyari had not given sufficient grounds for the application to be granted.

The judge said the detained police officer failed to raise new facts in his latest application after being denied the earlier bail request.

Mr Nwite consequently adjourned the matter until October 19, 20 and 21 for trial continuation.

On July 20, the judge fixed August 30 for the ruling on the bail plea filed by Mr Kyari and other police officers charged by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for a drug offence.

Mr Kyari had prayed the court for another bail following the attack on Kuje Correctional Centre by Boko Haram terrorists who freed scores of their members.

The suspended police boss and other defendants are detained in the correctional centre.
