| Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd) |
Following a complaint by Colonel Sambo Dasuki’s lawyer, Adeola Adedipe
that the legal team for Dasuki had not been allowed to have direct
access to him in spite of a court order made on April 6th, an Abuja High
Court has overruled the Federal Government’ s decision to confine the
detained former National Security Adviser (NSA) to the premises of the
Department of State Security (DSS) to access and brief his lawyers.
Justice Hussein Baba Yusuf
who gave the order on Monday directed that henceforth the detained
ex-NSA should be allowed by the DSS operatives to access his lawyers
within the premises of the Federal Capital Territory Judiciary
Headquarters in Maitama Abuja between Monday to Friday this week.
He ordered that Dasuki must be allowed
to access and brief his lawyers at a neutral place instead of the
premises of the DSS headquarters in Abuja so as to enable him prepare
adequately for his defence in the trial.
