Ubua is an associate of the suspended Deputy Commissioner of Police, Abba Kyari, being prosecuted together by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency for unlawful drug dealings and other charges.

The March 28 judgement rejected Ubua's application for bail on the grounds that the prosecution placed sufficient materials before the court to warrant its rejection of the bail application.

Justice Stephen Adah, in the lead judgment, held that the appellant did not present any new materials before the court to warrant the court's departure from the earlier decision on the issue by Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal , Abuja.
