A Federal High Court in Abuja has dismissed the asset‑declaration case against suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police Abba Kyari and his brothers, Mohammed and Ali Kyari. The case was filed by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
Justice James Omotosho said the NDLEA failed to prove the case. He noted the prosecution did not show enough evidence linking the Kyari brothers to the alleged undeclared assets. The judge discharged and acquitted all three men.
The NDLEA had accused the brothers of failing to declare properties, including land and bank accounts, and of hiding or converting funds. The court found the evidence insufficient to meet the required standard of proof.
Abba Kyari, former head of the Police Intelligence Response Team, has faced several legal challenges. This asset‑declaration case is now closed, but other charges, including drug‑related cases, remain ongoing.
