The trial of Sambo Dasuki, former national security adviser (NSA), at the federal capital territory high court, Abuja, on Tuesday could not commence at the scheduled time, owing to his lateness.

At the commencement of trial at 9:15am, Rotimi Jacobs, counsel to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which is prosecuting Dasuki and four other persons on a 19-count charge of criminal breach of trust to the tune of N13bn, told the court that the former NSA, who is the second defendant in the matter, was still “dressing up”. He urged the court to either stand down the case or adjourn it.

He explained that Dasuki had been in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) since his release from Kuje prison.

“The second defendant who is facing a criminal charge filed by the DSS before the federal high court was re-arrested after his release, and has been in the custody of the DSS,” he said.

Jacobs said that he had told the DSS to produce Dasuki in court on Tuesday, but that the service informed him that the information was late.

“They (DSS) informed me that the information was late, and that the second defendant was trying to dress up,” he said. “So, my lord, I urge you to give us until tomorrow for the trial to continue.”

However, Dasuki arrived at the court a few minutes before 11am, when Peter Affen, the judge, was set to rule on the application for adjournment.

Affen adjourned the matter to February 26 for hearing on an application for discharge brought by Joseph Daodu, Dasuki’s lawyer.

What is this thread still doing outside front page?

Abi lalasticlala and obinoscopy still "dressing up"?

Shame of a nation.

Lack of plan B. I learnt the idea of having a plan B from tough politicians, surprised that Dasuki has no plan B when he was sharing the yams. Or, is it that the time has not yet reached for him to switch over to it? Is this his plan B?
Was he actually thinking that it's going to be hitch free for him? Something must have given him the impetus to be dishing out the porridge yam with alacrity. He is a strong man and wants to bear the consequences alone or maybe he was duly warned of the consequences before plunging himself into our nations pot of yam?
Many things on my head. If he was warned, then by who? The person(s) that warned him knew and saw the doom that was about to befall the country and didn't put up an alarm. What made the person(s) not to sound an alarm, threatened or caged?

he was having his make-up done i guess
