I'm not ready for trial- Dasuki

I’m not ready for trial - Dasuki
Former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, today told a
Federal High Court in Abuja that he was not ready for his trial to
be continued. Speaking at the hearing of the money laundering
charges filed against him by the Department of State Security
DSS today February 16th, speaking through his Counsel, Joseph
Dauda, Dasuki said he will not be available for the trial until the
Federal government obey the court orders that granted him bail
last year.
Dasuki was re-arrested by the DSS on fresh charges of money
laundering and illegal possession of firearms after he had
fulfilled bail conditions for separate charges filed against him by
EFCC.
Counsel to Dasuki, Joseph Dauda, while presenting his argument
to the judge, said “We cannot be ready for trial until the
defendant enjoys his constitutional rights.
We apply that we should be given time to prepare the defence.
The conduct of the prosecution has not enabled him to enjoy his
constitutional rights. The worst is that for about seven weeks we
do not know where he is. Any of us here who proceeds to defend
an accused person in this circumstance may lose his license of
practice.”he said
The judge adjourned the hearing to March 3rd.
