Dasukiis being tried in two separate cases alongside other defendants before JusticeHussein Baba-Yusuf by EFCC since 2015 on alleged misappropriation of fund madearms.
Atthe resumed sitting of the case, EFCC Counsel Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, expressedhindrance over the continuous absence of Dasuki, who is the first defendant inthe case.
Hetold the Court that the trial had filed a motion dated November 4,seeking the continuation of trial in Dasuki’s absence, adding that theprosecution was served with a counter affidavit this morning.
Respondingto this, counsel for Baba-Kusa, Solomon Umoh, SAN, submitted that what theJacobs was suggesting did not have any place in the book. He said Dasuki iscentral to the charge against other defendants.
