Court Strikes Out Abba Kyari’s Fundamental Rights Suit Against NDLEA

 

A Federal High Court in Abuja has on Thursday, dismissed a fundamental enforcement rights suit filed by suspended DCP Abba Kyari against National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

Presiding Judge, Justice Inyang Ekwo dismissed the suit after counsel for the NDLEA, Joseph Sunday, prayed the court that the matter be struck out.

Kyari’s lawyer, Cynthia Ikenna was absent in court when the matter was called.

NDLEA’s Director of Prosecution and Legal Services, urged the court to strike out the suit.

Meanwhile, Justice Ekwo said he was informed that Ikena sent a letter, praying the court for an adjournment but the letter was not filed by the lawyer and therefore not in compliance with the court rule.

When the letter was shown to NDLEA’s prosecutor, Sunday, he expressed surprise with the development saying, he was not copied in the letter in accordance with the rule of the court and therefore prayed the court to strike out the matter.
