The Federal Government is expected to arraign the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd), and the Chairman of DAAR Communication Plc., Chief Raymond Dopeksi, this week over alleged $2.1 billion arms deal fraud.
A member of the prosecution team, who prefers anonymity because he does have the mandate of the Federal Government to speak on the issue, said that Dasuki and Dokpesi may be arraigned this week before the court.
Others include former Minister of State for Finance, Bashir Yuguda, and former governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa.
According to him, “the charge against the accused persons are almost ready. Let us see what happens before this new work runs out, they will surely be arraigned. Of course, the Federal Government will not leave them in perpetual detention.

“They shall be brought to answer the charges against them before the law court,” he added.
It would be recalled that the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja had on Friday ordered the EFCC to produce Dokpesi on December 14.
The order of the court was sequel to the motion ex parte filed by Dokpesi through his counsel, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN).

Justice Gabriel Kolawole while delivering ruling ordered that EFCC should be put on notice and appear on December 14 with the detained former boss of DAAR Communications.
In the ex parte application filed on December 3, Ozekhome prayed the court for an order to compel EFCC to produce Dokpesi, who is presently in its custody.
He also pray the court for an order admitting Dokpesi to bail on self-recognisance or liberal terms pending his formal arraignment by the anti-graft agency.
