Justice Peter Affen of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) in Maitama, on Friday said the continued detention of the ex-National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, was in order.
The judge while ruling on the application filed by Dasuki, said the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) did not violate any subsisting court order in the detention of the ex-NSA.
This is the second time a judge is faulting Dasuki’s claim that his continued detention was in violation of a subsisting court order.
The judge dismissed the application by Dasuki seeking to stop his trial or quash the charges against him.
Dasuki is arraigned alongside a former Director of Finance and Administration in the Office of the NSA, Shuaibu Salisu, ex-Minister of State for Finance, Bashir Yuguda, a former Governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa, the ex-governor’s son, Sagir Attahiru and Dalhatu Investment Limited, on a 22-count charge of looting about N13billion public funds.
