Ruling on the application on Tuesday, Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja said that the applicants failed to present sufficient materials and evidenced to warrant the granting of fresh application.

More so, Justice Nwite held that since the NDLEA has not closed its case, both Kyari and his co-defendants could interfere with some of the vital witnesses or undermine their prosecution, if released on bail.

Kyari and four others are standing trial on allegations that borders on hard drug trafficking offences preferred against them by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

He was arraigned alongside four suspended police officers including ACP Sunday Ubia, ASP James, Inspector Simon Agirigba and Inspector John Nuhu as 2nd to 5th defendants respectively.

Justice Nwite, therefore, reaffirmed his earlier ruling of March 28, 2022 ordering an accelerated hearing.
