Drug case against Abba Kyari still on course – NDLEA

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA has reaffirmed that its substantive drug trafficking case against suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, remains active. The case is scheduled to continue in Federal High Court, Abuja, on Monday March 16, 2026.

The clarification comes after a separate case involving Kyari and his two brothers – related to non-declaration of asset – was dismissed by the court on March 5, 2026, for lack of sufficient evidence.

The NDLEA emphasized that the dismissal of the assets case does not affect the ongoing drug prosecution, which remains on course.

The development highlights the complex legal challenges facing the suspended senior police officer, as NDLEA agency insist it will continue to pursue the drug trafficking allegations through courts and will review the recent court judgment before deciding on any potential appeal regarding the dismissed assets case.
