Recall that earlier today, Justice Emeka Nwike had ordered the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, to transfer Kyari and six others facing drug trafficking charges to the Kuje correctional centre.
The judge gave the order after denying the former Deputy Commissioner of Police alongside other defendants bail.
Justice Nwite had held that the NDLEA placed sufficient materials before it to warrant denying Kyari and the other defendants’ bail.
