There was a mild drama at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday during the bail hearing of the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari and six others.
During court proceedings, a lady identified as the wife of the former commander of the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) fainted inside the court and caused panic.
She slumped on the ground shortly after trial Justice Emeka Nwite deferred ruling on applications that Kyari and six other persons facing drug trafficking charges with him, filed to be released on bail pending the determination of the case against them.
The lady, 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, 11.07am, efforts were on to secure an inhaler for her, as one of the women that accompanied her to the court, hinted that she was asthmatic.
