A Federal Capital Territory High Court in Maitama, Abuja, on Thursday adjourned the trial of the ex National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, till Friday.
Dasuki is standing trial for alleged diversion of $2.1billion arms procurement fund.
The presiding judge, Justice Baba Yusuf, adjourned the case after hearing that Dasuki’s lawyers – Mr. Joseph Daudu (SAN) and Mr. Ahmed Raji (SAN) – would not be in court on Thursday.
The duo had informed the court they will be attending an election petition tribunal’s sitting in Kogi on same day (Thursday).
The lawyer to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mr. Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), did not oppose Dasuki’s lawyers’ request for adjournment.
The judge later fixed 11:00am on Friday for resumption of hearing in the case.
