Appeal Court Rejects Abba Kyari’s Request For Bail

A Federal High Court in Abuja earlier denied his request for release, and the appeal sought to overturn that decision.

Judge Stephen Adah, who read the unanimous decision of a three-person panel, maintained that Kyari’s appeal was without merit and that such requests for bail needed to be handled carefully given the nature of the accusations pending against Kyari and others before the trial court.

He held that Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court, Abuja, who earlier rejected bail to Kyari, appropriately exercised his discretion in refusing to grant Kyari’s bail.
