Dasuki Trials Start On Tuesday by Nobody: 7:50am On Aug 31, 2015 |
The Federal Government will on Tuesday arraign former
National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.),
before a Federal High Court in Abuja for allegedly being
in possession of firearms without license.
The Department of State Security Service, DSS, had, in a
statement by one of its officials, Tony Opuiyo, on August
24, 2015, said that it had charged Dasuki with the alleged
offence.
Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Ibrahim
Auta, had on Friday assigned the case to Justice Adeniyi
Ademola, who is the court’s vacation judge.
The DSS said it had charged Dasuki with possession of
firearms without licence, an offence punishable under
section 27(I)(a)(I) of the Firearms Act Cap F28 Laws of the
Federation of Nigeria 2004, based on evidence so far
obtained.
The Federal Ministry of Justice had since taken over the
case.
It was learnt that the trial which ought to have started last
week was postponed due to the directive of the Chief
Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmmud Mohammed, to
various heads of court not to sit throughout the week to
enable lawyers and interested judges to participate in the
just-concluded one week-long Annual Bar Conference of
the Nigerian Bar Association.
The DSS had searched Dssuki’s home and claimed that it
searched it “based on credible intelligence linking the
immediate past NSA with alleged plans to commit
treasonable felony against the Nigerian state.”
The statement partly read:
“You may recall that on July 16, 2015, the Department of
State Services carried out search operations on properties
belonging to the immediate past National Security
Adviser, Col. Mohammed Sambo Dasuki (retd.), in Abuja
and Sokoto.
“This action was necessitated by credible intelligence,
which linked him to acts capable of undermining national
security. The search operations led to the recovery of large
cache of arms and ammunition among other things and for
which further investigation was conducted.
“Consequently, on Monday, August 24, 2015, he was
charged to court based on evidence so far obtained, but
which relates to possession of firearms without licence
punishable under section 27(i)(a)(i) of the Firearms Act
Cap F28 LFN 2004.”
The secret service said Dasuki’s arraignment was in line
with democratic practice and “our avowed commitment to
the rule of law, in which nobody is deemed to be above the
law, no matter how highly placed in the society.”
