DCP Abba Kyari, who had been suspended from duty, has been granted bail by the Abuja Federal High Court after spending one year in detention.
Recall that the Police Service Commission (PSC) had suspended Kyari, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Sunday Ubua, and Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), James Bawa, who both worked under the embattled Abba Kyari in the Intelligence Response Team of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) over allegations of drug dealing and other issues in February 2022.
