Some users of the microblogging site, Twitter, have taken to their various account to react on the bail granted to the the former Head of the Intelligence Response Team , Abba Kyari. In February 2022 the police officer was arrested and suspended as a deputy commissioner of police, Abba Kyari, over his involvement in drug trafficking.
However, a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has admitted the former head of the IRT, Kyari, to a N50 million bail in a charge filed against him and two others by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) on Thursday.
It should be recalled that the NDLEA had filed the 24-count charge marked: FHC/ABJ/CR/408/2022 against Kyari and two of his siblings – Mohammed Baba Kyari and Ali Kyari – in respect of which they were arraigned last month.

Reacting to the news some tweeps like activist, Rinu Oduala stated, “Abba Kyari, a corrupt policeman who led the criminal murderous unit called SARS was granted bail today by a high court in Abuja. This further perpetuates impunity and fails to hold criminals accountable for their actions. #EndSARS.”

User of the microblogging site, @ThatNaijaGuy001 simply tweeted, “Unconscionable! Abba Kyari, the infamous architect of SARS’ reign of terror, has been granted bail. This is a grotesque perversion of justice, a blatant endorsement of impunity, and a slap in the face to every victim.”
