A lady identified as wife of the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP Abba Kyari, on Monday, slumped at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
The woman slumped and fell on the floor while men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency were leading Kyari and others away from the court premises.
The development followed the deferment of ruling on Kyari’s bail application by the presiding judge, Justice Emeka Nwite.
The judge deferred ruling on applications filed by Kyari, alongside six other persons facing drug trafficking charges, that they be released on bail pending the determination of the case against them.
The PUNCH had earlier reported that eight charges were filed against Abba Kyari, and six others over their involvement in alleged drug trafficking.
Kyari was arraigned on eight counts bordering on conspiracy, obstruction, dealing in cocaine, and other related offences.
The other defendants in the charge marked FHC/ABJ/57/2022, are four members of the Police Intelligence Response Team, Sunday J. Ubia, Bawa James, Simon Agirigba and John Nuhu.
