The Federal Government was on Monday sued by the embattled Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP, Abba Kyari, who is now in the custody of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA,  for his alleged involvement in drug trafficking.

According to Vanguard, Kyari is requesting that the court order the NDLEA to grant him release on health grounds awaiting the hearing and conclusion of his fundamental right enforcement application.

Mrs. P. O. Ikenna, the contentious former director of the Police Intelligence Response Team, IRT, told the court in an ex-parte motion filed through his counsel that he was being held “on the basis of a false charge that was leveled against him.”

Effort my counsel to the Applicant to persuade the court to order Kyari’s release on the ground that “his health has deteriorated badly”, failed.

Rather, Justice Ekwo ordered that the relevant proceedings be served on FG, who was named as the lone Respondent, while adjourning the case until February 24.
