Dasuki Secures Fresh Bail in Amended Charges… Pleas not guilty

Dasuki Secures Fresh Bail in Amended Charges… Pleas not guilty

Justice Hussein Baba-Yusuf of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court has granted fresh bail to former National Security Adviser (NSA) Col. Mohammed Sambo Dasuki (Rtd) who is re-arraigned before the court on the alleged arms fund diversion.

Dasuki was docked on 32 counts amended charges along with Aminu Baba Kusa, Acacia Holdings Limited and Reliance Referral Hospital.

The four defendants however pleaded not guilty to all the 32 count charges.

Apart from the dropping of former Director of Finance and Supply in the Office of the NSA, Mr. Salisu Shuaib from the amended charge list, the charges were almost same with the old 18 count charges brought against the defendants by the Federal Government in 2015.

Shortly after taking the plea of the defendants, the issue of bail was raised and Counsel to Dasuki Mr. Adeola Adedekpe pleaded with the court to grant the Defendants bail in liberal terms in view of the fact that the defendants have been attending their trial since 2015.

Counsel to the Federal Government Mr. Oluwaleke Atolagbe did not oppose the bail application.

The trial Judge, Justice Hussein Baba Yusuf however ordered that Dasuki and other Defendants be allowed to continue to enjoy the bail he granted them in 2015 when they were first arraigned before his court.

It will be recalled that although other defendants were allowed to enjoy the earlier bail, Col. Dasuki was however re-arrested in 2015 at the Kuje Prison shortly after perfecting his bail conditions and has since been kept in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS) even after other courts granted him bails.

Meanwhile, Justice Baba Yusuf has fixed July 3 and 5 for the trial of the defendants in the new charges.
The Federal Government had on April 30 filled the new 32 amended count charges to replace the initial 18 count charges brought against 5 defendants in 2015 before the same court.

In the amended charges coming barely one year to the general elections, names of prominent politicians from the opposition party were listed as beneficiaries of the alleged diversions
Apart from filing new charges with fresh names, a new twist was also introduced into the trial by government as a key defendant in the matter Salisu Shuaib who was a former Director of Finance and Supply in the ONSA under Colonel Dasuki was dropped from the new charge.

The amended charge was signed by Mr. Chile Okoroma, Director of Legal Services with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
At yesterday’s re-arraignment, no reason was adduced on why the former Director of Finance in ONSA who served along with Colonel Dasuki was dropped from the trial having being arraigned together since 2015.

Among top Nigerians alleged by the Federal Government to have collected money from the former NSA are the current National Chairman of PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, former Chairman Board of Trustee PDP, Chief Tony Anenih; former PDP Spokesperson, Chief Olisa Metuh; Publisher of Thisday, Nduka Obaigbena, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, Chairman AIT Dr. Raymond Dokpesi, Mouftah Baba-Ahmed, Bello Abba Mohammed, Dr. Bello Mohammed, AVM M. N Umar, Otunba Jonah Ogunniyi among others.
Apart from individuals, corporate organizations were also named as beneficiaries in the new charges and they include AMP Solar Service, Afro-Arab Investment, Bam Project and Projecties Limited, Bob Oshodin Organization Limited, WEHSAC Farms Limited, Wehsac Limited, Dimaris Mode Coolture Limited, First ARALAC Global Limited, Stellavera Development Limited, Jawaz Multi-purpose Venture Limited, Little Italy Global Services Limited, Belsha Nigeria Ltd and Syvan McNamara Limited among others.
It would be recalled that Dasuki, Salisu Shuaibu and three others were arraigned in 2015 on the same charge and pleaded not guilty when the charges were read to them.
