FG Files Money Laundering Charge Against Former NSA Sambo Dasuki

The Federal Government has filed a fresh charge of money
laundering against former National Security Adviser, Sambo
Dasuki. The former National Security Adviser is standing trial
for illegal arms possession while he was in office.

At the resumed hearing of the case at the Federal High Court
(FHC) Abuja today October 26th, Counsel to the Federal
Government, Shuaib Labaran filed the fresh charge and asked
the court to grant its request for a secret trial and also grant
that the witnesses brought in by the Department of State
Services (DSS) to be masked.
Dasuki's counsel, Joseph Daudu (SAN), opposed the
application of a secret trial, arguing that the case is a
harmless one within a democratic setting. The presiding
Judge, Justice Adeniyi Ademola, adjourned the case to
Wednesday October 28th for ruling.
