A Federal High Court in Abuja, on Monday, was thrown into confusion as a lady, identified as wife of the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, DCP, Abba Kyari, slumped in court.
At the resumed hearing of the trial of the DCP, the wife slumped after Justice Emeka Nwite deferred ruling on bail applications of DCP Kyari alongside six others facing drug trafficking charge with him.
Kyari and other defendants have filed bail applications before the court, pending the determination of the case against them.
The middle aged woman, who wore a black Hijab, fell on the floor while armed operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) were leading Kyari and the others away from the court premises.
Though she appeared lifeless on the floor, she was quickly carried up and rushed inside one of the offices on the third floor of the court by some officials of the NDLEA and lawyers.
As at the time of filing this report, efforts were on to secure an inhaler for her, even as one of the women that accompanied her to the court, hinted that she is asthmatic.
The NDLEA had on Monday, opposed the bail applications of Kyari and other defendants.
The drug law agency told the court that Kyari, who hitherto headed the Police Intelligence Response Team, IRT, would escape from the country and make himself unavailable for trial, should he be released from custody.
