Abba Kyari, the suspended police chief, was freed from custody after 27 months.

After being held in custody for 27 months, suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari was released from the Federal Capital Territory's Kuje Custodial Centre.


After being taken into custody by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency on February 14, 2022, Kyari was suspected of having ties to a global drug cartel.


On March 7, 2022, Kyari was arraigned alongside Sunday Ubia, Bawa James, Simon Agirigba, and John Nuhu, the other four members of the Police Intelligence Response Team.


Charges were also brought against Chibunna Umeibe and Emeka Ezenwanne, two suspected drug traffickers who were apprehended at Enugu's Akanu Ibiam International Airport.

Umeibe and Ezenwanne pleaded guilty and were found guilty, but Kyari and the IRT members entered a not guilty plea found guilty.


Kyari requested bail on several occasions, but his motions were consistently turned down until a Federal High Court in Abuja made a recent ruling.

Judge Emeka Nwite granted Kyari bail on May 22, 2024, so he could finish the funeral preparations for his mother Yachilla Kyari, who passed away on May 5.

Kyari's bail included requirements that he turn in his passport to the court and visit the closest NDLEA office while out on bond.



The court set May 31, 2024, as the date for the hearing on Kyari's primary bail request regarding the drug trafficking accusations.


Providing updates, Adamu Duza, the Federal Capital Territory Command's Nigerian Correctional Service spokeswoman, told our correspondent on Friday night that Kyari fulfilled his conditions of his bond and was freed on Friday.


"DCP Kyari has perfected his bail conditions and has been released today," stated Duza.

SWAN: Team Nigeria's appalling performance at the Paris Olympics is unacceptable.

The performance of Team Nigeria in the 2024 Olympic Games has been characterized as significantly below expectations by the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN). Through the Secretary-General of the Association, Amb. Ikenna Okonkwo, SWAN President Mr. Isaiah Benjamin issued a statement stating that Nigeria's failure to return from the recently concluded Olympics with a medal was unacceptable. The Association blamed the country's enormous failure in Paris on administrative incompetence and ignorance, which became evident when the name of Favour Ofili, a highly regarded track and field athlete from Nigeria, was discovered to be missing from the list of competitors for the 100-meter event. After the Games, SWAN questioned why there were so many claims of medal hauls that administered by the sports authorities despite their full knowledge that nothing, not even the amount of preparation necessary to ensure a podium finish, was in place. Nigerians were led to believe that ev...
