The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has obtained permission of a Federal High Court in Abuja to detain suspended DCP Abba Kyari and six others for fourteen days.
Justice Zainab Abubakar, in an ex-parte ruling, granted the NDLEA’s request to detain Kyari, Chibunna Patrick Umeibe and Emeka Alphonsus in its facility in Abuja pending investigation.
Justice Abubakar said the NDLEA was at liberty to apply for a renewal of the detention order if it is unable to conclude investigation at the expiration of the fourteen days.
