Dasuki Kept Arms, Ammunitions At Home – Witness by kingwalsdinho99: 8:07pm On May 18, 2016 |
Trial opened on Wednesday in the case
involving a former National Security Adviser,
Sambo Dasuki, with an operative of the
Department of State Security Service (DSS),
Samuel Ogbu, saying the defendant admitted
keeping arms and ammunitions in his private
residence.
Ogbu said although one needs a license from
appropriate quarters to keep arms in the
country, Dasuki failed to produce any license
authorising him to keep the arms and
ammunitions recovered from his house.
Dasuki is standing trial for unlawful
possession of firearms and ammunitions, and
money laundering before the Federal High
Court, Abuja.
Ogbu, who is the first prosecution witness,
told the court how the team he worked with
interviewed Dasuki and obtained statement
from him in the comfort of his home on July
17, 2015.
The witness, led in evidence by Dipo
Okpeseyi (SAN), said a team of DSS
investigators that searched the ex-NSA’s
private home in Asokoro, Abuja, recovered
five Tavor rifles, one Lugar rifle, one micro
Uzi rifle, various categories of ammunitions
and cash in both local and foreign currencies.
He said Dasuki admitted, in his written
statement, that the arms and ammunition
recovered in his house belong to the Office of
the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and
were for the use of his security detail.
He said the ex-NSA promised that the items
would be returned at the end of the day, but
failed to say the day |
