FG ACCUSES DASUKI OF STALLING TRIAL ON ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF FIREARMS



·          
      - The Federal Government has accused former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) of deliberately frustrating his prosecution over unlawful possession of firearms.

·         - Dasuki had filed a motion asking the court to discharge him on ground that the Federal Government is in contempt of court orders and has no moral right to prosecute him.
·         - The prosecution counsel, Mr. Oladipo Okpeseyi (SAN) described the motion as an attempt to frustrate the trial or take a discharge without trial.
·          - The Federal Government also described Dasuki’s motion as an attempt to restrain the Attorney General of the Federation from discharging his statutory powers of prosecution.
