Dasuki Denies Implicating Anyone
At the resumed hearing, lawyer to the federal government, Mr Oladipo Okpeseyitan said that he had just been briefed to handle the case through a fiat of the Attorney General of the Federation authorizing him to take over the prosecution of the case.
He also told the court that he has filed a new application seeking to stay the execution or further execution of the order of the court delivered on November 3, 2015.
He added that the federal government was not in disobedience of the order of the court granting bail to the accused person.
Lawyer to the accused person, Mr Ahmed Raji, however, objected to the hearing of the application saying it was not ripe for hearing.
He told the court that he had just been served with the motion in court, adding that he needed time to respond to the motion.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola subsequently adjourned the case till December 8.
Dasuki Denies Implicating Anyone
Meanwhile, the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd), has denied implicating anyone or group during interrogation on the allegation of $2billion arms purchase deal brought against him by the Federal Government.
Dasuki’s lawyer, Mr Ahmed Raji, a senior advocate said that his client never made such statement or name anyone to EFCC. He wondered where the authors got their information from.
“I was with Dasuki yesterday and wish to make a categorical statement that my client never made any statement of such nature or naming anybody or group in any statement.
“Quote me anywhere, Dasuki has not done anything like that. It is absolutely untrue. It is the figment of the imagination of the authors aimed at creating falsehood for reasons best known to them and Nigerians should disregard them.
“They are just out to scandalise the man, bring his image and character into disrepute so that his friends and well-wishers can run away from him. They want him deserted and that will fail,” Raji said.
