This online understands that Abba Kyari alongside his co-defendants prayed the court to admit them to bail as their lives are being threatened at the Kuje correctional centre.

 

Their lawyer told the court that their lives are at risk as they are being remanded in the same correctional centre with criminals they had arrested in the past.

 

What happened in court

 

Kyari’s lawyer, Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN, told the court that he had filed an application seeking the bail of the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th defendants and the said application had been served on the National Drug Law and Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

  • He noted that the application was necessary due to the nature of the work the defendants had done in the course of policing the country.
  • Sunday Joseph, counsel for the prosecution (NDLEA), while opposing the application for bail noted that today was slated for review of the facts of the 6th and 7th defendants who pleaded guilty to the counts preferred against them.
  • The duo by name Chibuna Umeibe and Emeka Ezenwanne, who were the alleged drug traffickers that were arrested at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu pleaded guilty to counts 5,6 and 7 of the charges against them.
