The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, has been released from the Kuje Custodial Centre in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja after spending 27 months in detention.
His release follows the meeting of his bail conditions and was confirmed by the Spokesperson of the Nigerian Correctional Service of the Federal Capital Territory Command, Adamu Duza, who spoke to PUNCH. Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu implicated Kyari in the drug cartel.
The NDLEA charged Kyari and other criminal members of IRT who were in the same business.
While DCP Kyari pleaded not guilty, Umeibe and Ezenwanne pleaded guilty and were convicted.
He was repeatedly denied bail until a recent decision by a Federal High Court in Abuja following the death of his mother.
