Justice Nwite, who adjourned the ruling, ordered Kyari and other police officers seeking for a bail to be remanded in the custody of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) pending the determination of the matter.

The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria (CBCN), has advised Nigerians to use competence as the yardstick as they go to the polls to choose a new President for the nation in 2023.
The group called on Nigerians to avoid the temptation of falling into a divisive political campaign ahead of next year’s general elections in the country.
Archbishop Augustine Akubeze, the President of CBCN, made the remarks during the opening of the organisation’s first plenary in 2022, held in Abuja.
Akubeze said that Nigerians cannot run away from the fact that very often, people get the kind of government they deserve, lamenting that the number of Nigerians who vote was very few.
