Our substantive drug case against Abba Kyari is on course – NDLEA

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has clarified that its substantive drug case against the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari is very much on course and billed for continuation before Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court Abuja on Monday 16th March 2026.

The anti-drug agency stated this when reacting to the discharge of Abba Kyari by Justice James Omotosho on a 23-count charge bordering on alleged non-declaration of assets filed against him by NDLEA.

When called to ask if the agency will appeal Justice Omotosho’s ruling, the NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi stated that the prosecution team will need to obtain the Certified True Copy (CTC) of the judgement to know the details of the ruling and thereafter be guided on its next line of action.
