Ramatu Kyari, the wife of Abba Kyari, the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Abba Kyari, fell and slumped in the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday.
She fell immediately after the trial judge, Justice Emeka Nwite, adjourned ruling on motions submitted by DCP Kyari and six other people charged with drug trafficking with him to be released on bail awaiting the outcome of the case against them.
Ramatu, 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.
The middle-aged woman was quickly carried and rushed inside one of the offices on the third floor of the court by some officials of the NDLEA and lawyers.
One of the women in her company hinted that she was asthmatic.
The NDLEA had on Monday, urged the court to deny Kyari and all the other defendants bail.
The 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.
