On Monday, March 28, the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, has ordered the transfer of the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP, Abba Kyari, and six others that are facing drug trafficking charges with him, to the Kuje Correctional Center.
The trial Justice Emeka Nwike ordered the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), to transfer the defendants to prison custody, shortly after he denied them bail.
The court held that the NDLEA placed sufficient materials before it to warrant the refusal of bail to Kyari and his co-defendants, Vanguard reports.
