Former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, will be in court today on a one-count charge of illegal possession of firearms, Punch reports.
The report says Dasuki should have been in court last week but he applied for bail in anticipation that the court will hear it immediately after taking his plea on today.
It’s reported that the trial also didn’t happen last week because the Chief Justice, Justice Mahmmud Mohammed, directed judges not to sit throughout that week so lawyers and interested judges can participate in the one week-long Annual Bar Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association.
The DSS had on July 16 searched Dasuki’s homes in Abuja and Sokoto, where its operatives claimed to have recovered seven high calibre rifles, including magazines and military gears.
The houses are located at 13, John Khadya Street, and 46, Nelson Mandela Street, both at Asokoro, Abuja; and 3, Sabon Birni Road, Gwiwa Area, Sokoto, Sokoto State.
The DSS also said it recovered 12 new vehicles, including five bullet-proof cars from Dasuki’s house, suspected to have been purchased with corruption money.
