Embattled Police Chief, Abba Kyari has been remanded in Prison Custody, POLITICS NIGERIA can report.
A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Monday, ordered that Kyari and six others that are facing drug trafficking charges be moved to Kuje Correctional Center.
Trial Justice, Emeka Nwike ordered the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, to transfer the Defendants to prison custody shortly after he denied them bail.
The court held that the NDLEA placed sufficient materials before it to warrant the refusal of bail to Kyari and his Co-Defendants. Kyari’s accomplices and former members of the IRT, ACP Sunday Ubia, Inspector Simon Agirgba, and Inspector John Nuhu were also denied bail.
In the charge marked FHC/ABJ/57/2022, are; ASP Bawa James, as well as two drug traffickers that were arrested at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu, Chibunna Patrick Umeibe and Emeka Alphonsus Ezenwane.
Nwite ordered an accelerated trial of the Defendants, even as it fixed April 28 for the review of facts in respect of the case against Umeibe and Ezenwane.
Soludo visiting work places to observe for himself if sit-at-home he ordered to stop is still being observed, just doesn’t make sense of him. Okay now that he has observed that it’s still being observed even if partially, will he go ahead to sanction those that still observe it as he threatened? The answer is NO, and so therein lies the futility of his use-of-force approach to stop sit-at-home in d SE. I have suggested to him to use a rather more peaceful approach than war or intimidation, and here again is a good one I want to recommend to him:
Since Soludo was not a gov when SE governors forum proscribed IPOB as terrorists for no reason at all, Soludo may well start by questioning the rational behind that proscription with a view of coming up with justifications why IPOB was never a terrorist and needs to be freed of terrorism tag or label. This is a step #1 to realistic stop to sit-at-home, and Soludo may as well go ahead to challenge d SE governors to rescind that proscription to see if sit-at-home will not seriously be on d decline, and should quite frankly “unproscribe” IPOB in Anambra State indefinitely forthwith.
