The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) had declared the former super cop wanted over his alleged involvement in a 25kg cocaine deal. He was subsequently arrested and arraigned in court, which ordered his remand in Kuje Prison, Abuja.

The police set up a panel to probe the conduct of the former head of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) of the Inspector General of Police, and was subsequently suspended from the force.

On Thursday, Justice Kolawole Omotosho of a Federal High Court in Abuja granted him bail under stringent conditions.

However, Kyari still has a criminal case before Justice Emeka Nwite of another federal high Court in Abuja.
