The trial of the former National Security Adviser, NSA, Colonel Sambo Dasuki, on alleged corruption charges, was aborted by
the refusal of the Federal Government to produce him in court for trial.
The trial slated before the FCT High Court, Abuja, could not go on, after the Judge and Senior Lawyers had waited for over three hours, without Dasuki being brought to court, as agreed at the last adjourned date.
Recall, that this is fourth time the inability of the Federal government to produce Dasuki in court, would force his trial to be adjourned. Sambo Dasuki who had been granted bail by four different Judges in the last two years, has remained in the custody of the Department of State Security Services, DSS, without detention warrant, and in disobedience to the court orders on bail.
The Prosecution Counsel, Rotimi Jacob, told Justice Baba Yusuf, that he was surprised that the former NSA was not within the court premises for the continuation of his trial, but however, declined to give reasons why the defendant was not produced.
