I Am Ready To Continue With My Trial – Dasuki

A former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd), has explained the reason behind his decision to stop attending court sessions during his prolonged illegal detention.

Dasuki, who spoke in an interview with the Hausa Service of the Voice of America, monitored in Abuja, on Wednesday, called for justice and truth.

The ex-NSA said with his release, he was ready to face trial.

He also said he had no problem with the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

The ex-NSA, who was arrested for alleged illegal possession of firearms and money laundering in December 2015, was released on Tuesday.

No fewer than five courts granted him bails, but the Federal Government ignored the court orders.

For instance, On September 1, 2015, Justice Adeniyi Ademola, who was then of the Federal High Court in Abuja, granted the former NSA bail on self-recognition shortly after he pleaded not guilty to the charges of illegal possession of firearms, and money laundering among others.

Dasuki had, in a letter to the Federal High Court in Abuja, dated November 12, 2018, stated that he would stop appearing in court for his trial pending when the Federal Government would release him from the custody of the Department of State Services in compliance with the bail granted him by various courts.

In the interview with the Hausa Service of VOA, Dasuki said, “I was going to court. Why I stopped going to court was because the court ordered for my release.

This was not obeyed. So, I said, anytime the government released me, we would continue with the case. I am ready.”

According to him, now that the government has released him, he is prepared to appear in court to answer charges leveled against him.
