The Abuja Division of the Appeal Court on Thursday dismissed an application filed by suspended disgraced cop Abba Kyari, requesting that the unlawful drug deal charge against him be dropped.

A three-member panel of justices dismissed Mr Kayri’s appeal, marked CA/ABJ/CR/516/2023, for being unmeritorious.

Justice Adebukola Banjoko who led the panel, held that there was no reason to tamper with the findings and conclusions reached on the issue by Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in the ruling he delivered on March 22, 2023.

“In conclusion, this court finds no reason to disturb the findings and conclusions reached by the learned trial judge of the Federal High Court, and in the ruling delivered on the 22nd day of March 2023, is affirmed.

“The learned trial judge is directed to continue and conclude the trial at the Federal High Court. The appeal is found unmeritorious and it is accordingly dismissed,” said the court.

Mr Kyari had appealed against the March 22 ruling by Justice Nwite, in which he refused to quash the charges and dismissed an application filed by Mr Kyari.

Mr Kyari had, in his application, challenged the jurisdiction of the court to try him and four others serving police personnel when they were yet to be subjected to the internal disciplinary mechanisms of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

In his ruling, Justice Nwite held that the court has the exclusive right and jurisdiction to hear drug-related cases as enshrined in the Constitution and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) Act.

The judge also held that the powers of the Police Service Commission (PSC) do not supersede the court’s.

He and four members of the IRT, Sunday J. Ubua, ASP Bawa James, Simon Agirgba and John Nuhu are charged with conspiracy to deal in 17.55kg of cocaine.

They were also accused of dealing in cocaine without lawful authority, conspiracy to tamper with cocaine and unlawfully tampering with the 21.35kg of cocaine seized from two convicted drug dealers.
