Despite the fact that a Federal High Court in Abuja granted suspended DCP Abba Kyari, who is accused of failing to disclose his assets and money laundering, bail in the amount of N50 million, he would not be released.
In the court, the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) had brought a 24-count complaint against DCP Kyari, his brothers Mohammed Baba and Ali for failing to list allegedly connected assets on his asset form.

The Kyari brothers, who were accused of receiving money from an international scam ring connected to Ramoni Abbas, a.k.a. Hushpuppi, had previously been granted bail by the judge. However, in his decision on July 7, 2023, Justice James Omotosho granted Kyari bail in the amount of N50m and two sureties in the same amount.
The sureties must own N25 million worth of property located within the court’s jurisdiction, according to Justice Omotosho.
