The Court of Appeal in Abuja has dismissed an appeal by Assistant Commissioner of Police, Sunday Ubua wherein he sought to be admitted to bail.

Ubua is an associate of the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, being prosecuted together by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for unlawful drug dealings and other charges.

In a judgment, a three-member panel of the appellate court held that the appeal by Ubua was without merit and affirmed the ruling by Justice Nwite, delivered on March 28, 2022.
