The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has granted bail to DCP Abba Kyari on charges bordering on money laundering.
VerseNews Nigeria reports that one of his lawyers, Hamza N. Dantani, shared the news of the court granting Kyari bail on the money laundering charges on his Facebook page on Thursday.
Apart from money laundering charges, Kyari is also facing a primary charge of cocaine trafficking, for which he has been denied bail.
He wrote: ”Alhamudullhi! Abba Kyari’s Bail Granted by Federal High Court Abuja today.”
This Online News Media gathered that that Kyari’s trial centres around the $61,400 cash and 25kg parcel of cocaine seized as evidence and believed to have been used as bribe to influence operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
According to the NDLEA, Kyari allegedly attempted to bribe a senior agency officer with $61,400 at a restaurant in Abuja to prevent testing a portion of the seized cocaine connected to two individuals arrested for drug pushing.

Justice Nwite of the Federal High Court had refused Kyari’s bail application on charges relating to trafficking of cocaine.
The bail application was also rejected at the Court of Appeal.
