Spokesman of the FCT Command of the NCoS, Adamu Duza confirmed that Kyari has met the bail conditions set by the court and has therefore been released.

“DCP Kyari has perfected his bail conditions, and has since been released today,” he stated.

Recall that in July last year, a Federal High Court in Abuja granted Kyari N50 million bail. It was on a charge in which he and two of his siblings were accused of failing to declare assets to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA.

NDLEA had filed the 24-count charge against Kyari and his brothers — Mohammed Baba Kyari and Ali Kyari.

According to a statement by the NCoS, the inmates all graduated on Saturday after studying with the National Open University of Nigeria, NOUN Corrections’ Special Study Centres.

The Custodial Centres involved in the graduation exercise are Medium Security Custodial Centre Awka, Anambra State with one inmate; Maximum Security Custodial Centres Enugu with six inmates and Kirikiri Maximum Security Custodial Centre, Lagos State with inmates.

Others are Medium Security Custodial Centre, Kuje with four inmates and Maximum Security Custodial Centre, Port Harcourt-Rivers State with one inmate.

The acting Controller General of Corrections, John Mrabure in the statement on Thursday charged the inmates to see the educational advancement as a stepping stone to a brighter future.

He urged them to shun anti-social behaviours capable of tainting the new course of positive life they have chosen for themselves and be good ambassadors of both the Correctional Service and NOUN.

According to the statement, a total of 3,000 inmates are currently running different degree Programmes with the NOUN while 50 are undergoing National Certificates in Education (NCE) with Yewa College of Education, Ogun State.

Presently, the Service has 12 Special Study Centres in different Custodial facilities across the country.

In 2014, the best graduating student of NOUN was an inmate in Maximum Security Custodial Centre, Enugu and the feat was repeated in 2018 by another inmate in the same Custodial Centre.

Since the inception of the collaboration between the Service and NOUN, a total of 36 inmates have graduated in different fields of study such as Conflict and Peace Resolution, Political Science, Sociology, Guidance and counselling among others.

Abulrasheed Maina reportedly slumped after the court resumed proceedings in the 12-count charge the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) submitted against him and his firm, Common Input Property and Investment Limited.

EFCC had alleged that Maina used a bank account that was operated by his firm and laundered funds to the tune of about N2billion, part of which he used to acquire landed properties in Abuja.

Maina had on Wednesday secured the permission of the court to enter a no-case-submission after the EFCC closed its case charge against him with nine witnesses.

However, when the case was called on Thursday, Maina’s lawyer, Mr. Anayo Adibe, told the court that his client would not be able to proceed with his application.

Adibe said he was unable to prepare the no-case-submission owing to the fact that he was not availed with records of proceedings of the court in the matter.

While making a further submission, his client, Maina, slumped beside the dock where the court permitted him to sit.

Some lawyers and officials of the Nigerian Correctional Service quickly rushed to his aid, a development that forced trial Justice Abang to suspend sitting.
