An Abuja division of the Federal High Court has dismissed a bail application filed by ASP Bawa James, one of Abba Kyari’s co-defendants in the alleged drug trafficking case against them.

Mr James was arraigned alongside Mr Kyari and three suspended police officers which include; ACP Sunday Ubia, Inspector Simon Agirigba and Inspector John Nuhu.

Ruling on the bail application, Justice Emeka Nwite held that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) had proven its argument beyond doubt why the court should not admit Mr James to bail.
