Court dismisses Abba Kyari's witness, strikes out evidence in cocaine trial

A Nigerian court dismissed the second defense witness for Abba Kyari, a former police officer, and struck out his prior testimony in an ongoing cocaine trafficking trial. This procedural setback narrows Kyari's defense options and signals the trial is advancing, though the ultimate verdict remains uncertain. The case is significant as it involves a high-profile former law enforcement official, potentially affecting public trust in the judiciary.
