Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court Abuja has granted bail to the former Head of the Rapid Response Team, Abba Kyari after 18 months in prison custody for refusing to escape the Kuje Prison when it was attacked on July 5, 2022.
Justice Omotosho ruled that the fact that Kyari and his team refused to escape when the Prison was attacked, where about 90 per cent of the inmates escaped, has proven that Kyari is ready to face any allegations against him.
The judge further said all the allegations are bailable and he is not a flight risk.
Abba Kyari alongside some members of his team were taken into custody in February 2022 after the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) alleged they tampered with drug exhibits.
During a telephone conversation with Channels Television, a counsel in his team of lawyers, Hamza Kyari, however, said Kyari cannot go home just yet as he still has a sister case before another Judge at the Federal High Court Abuja, Justice Emeka Nwite where his bail is still pending.
