The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has submitted additional documents as evidence in the ongoing trial of former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd), and three others over alleged N33.2 billion fraud.
Dasuki faces an amended 32-count charge before an Abuja High Court, including criminal breach of trust and dishonest receipt of funds. He is accused alongside former NNPC General Manager Aminu Baba-Kusa and two companies—Acacia Holdings Limited and Reliance Referral Hospital Limited.
During Friday’s hearing, EFCC detective Adariku Michael testified that the commission received intelligence in September 2015 regarding alleged abuse of office and money laundering. He detailed how the Office of the National Security Adviser transferred large sums to various company accounts between October 2014 and April 2015.
Prosecution counsel Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, presented documents from the Central Bank of Nigeria and other financial institutions, which were admitted as evidence. Defense lawyers reserved their objections to the exhibits.
Justice Charles Agbaza adjourned the case until November 11 for continuation of hearing.
