The Federal Government has filed a twenty-five-count amended charge against a former National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki, Retired.
Colonel Dasuki’s re-arraignment by the government today at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja is the second in twenty-four hours.
The former NSA, who served under former President Goodluck Jonathan, was re-arraigned along with a former Minister of State for Finance, Badhir Yuguda; former Sokoto State Governor, Attahiru Bafarawa; his son, Sagir Dalhatu, and their family company, Dalhatu Investment Limited.
A former Director of Finance and Supply at the office of NSA under Dasuki, Mr Salisu Shuaib, was, however, dropped from the list of the accused persons, unlike the charge filed by the government on Wednesday.
Counsel to the Federal Government, Mr Rotimi Jacobs, told reporters in the nation’s capital that after the examination of the report of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in the alleged money diversion, it became imperative to drop Shuaib from the charge.
