Justice EMEKA NWITE of the Federal High Court, Abuja has adjourned the trial of ABBA KYARI and six others till March 14.

 KYARI is expected to remain in the custody of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency until he reappears in court at the adjourned date for his bail hearing.

Those arraigned along with KYARI include Assistant Commissioner of Police ACP SUNDAY UBUA, Assistant Superintendent of Police ASP BAWA JAMES, Inspector SIMON AGIRIGBA, Inspector JOHN NUHU, CHIBUINNA PATRICK UMEIBE and EMEKA ALPHONSUS EZENWANNE.

In court on Monday ABBA KYARI pleaded ‘not guilty’ to the eight drug trafficking-related counts brought against him by the NDLEA.

The NDLEA also told the court that it filed a counter-affidavit to oppose the release of KYARI and the other four former members of the Police IRT, on bail.
