The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has granted bail to DCP Abba Kyari on charges bordering on money laundering.

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).
