A former National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki might be spending Christmas in Kuje prison.
Dasuki, who is being prosecuted for two sets of charges before two
judges of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja, has not been
able to meet up with the bail conditions granted him last Friday and on
Monday.
The Punch reports that a close source to the ex-NSA confirmed at
about 10pm yesterday, Wednesday, December 23, that Dasuki and some of
the accused persons were yet to meet the bail conditions, especially the
ones granted them on Friday.
The week has been so short that it also affected the turnout of the
situation. Wednesday being the last working day before Christmas and
Eid-el-Malud, the possibility of the former NSA and the other defendants
remaining in prison during the festivities is almost certain.
Thursday (today) is Eid-el-Malud holiday, while Friday and Monday
have been declared as Christmas and Boxing Day holiday respectively,
making it very bleak for Dasuki, Shuaibu Salisu, who is a former
director of finance and administration in the office of the NSA, Aminu
Baba-Kusa, a former director of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation, to leave.
