Officials of the State Security Service on Tuesday failed to produce former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, in court, forcing his trial to be adjourned till Wednesday.
Mr. Dasuki is facing trial on a 19-count charge of fraud brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. He is accused alongside a former director of finance at the office of the NSA, Shuaibu Salisu; and a former executive director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, NNPC, Aminu Baba-Kusa, for alleged diversion of N13.6 billion.
Their trial at a Federal Capital Territory High Court was scheduled to continue on Wednesday but became stalled following the development.
After waiting a while for Mr. Dasuki to arrive, the prosecution counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, prayed the court to stand down for an hour to allow him contact the office of the SSS and confirm why the first defendant is not in court.
The counsel representing the second defendant, Akin Olujimi, however prayed the court to adjourn till Wednesday to allow them, the lawyers, attend to other matters since the court had originally fixed the case for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Mr. Dasuki’s lawyer did not oppose the application for adjournment.
The presiding judge, Hussein Baba-Yusuf, then adjourned the case till Wednesday.
