According to the judge, all the allegations levelled against the Federal Government are so weighty that the court must give the government opportunity to defend itself.

Abba Kyari had through his lawyer, Cynthia Obianuju Ikena, asked the court to order his release or alternatively set liberal bail conditions for him.
