A Federal High Court in Abuja, on Wednesday, granted the former commander of the IGP Intelligence Response Team (IGP-IRT), DCP Abba Kyari, a two-week bail after after spending cumulative 27 months in detention.

Thelagostimes gathered that the bail was granted to him following the death of his mother.

It was gathered that Kyari, while in detention, lost his mother, Mama Yachilla Kyari, early this month.

The court subsequently set Friday, May 31, for the determination of his bail application in the trial over drug-related charges filed by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), following his arrest over two years ago on February 14, 2022.

Kyari’s mother died in the early hours of Sunday, May 5, 2024, and is survived by 10 children, including Abba Kyari, who is the eldest son.
