Dasuki’s Appeal Put On Hold By Court

The Court of Appeal today put on hold hearing on an appeal filed by former NSA Sambo Dasuki, seeking discharge of all the criminal charges against him by the Federal Government.

The presiding Judge, Justice Abdul Aboki, held that the appeal was not ripe for hearing since parties had failed to file all relevant process before the court.

“As you have all seen, the respondent’s brief is not before us which means the process that should give room for the hearing of the appeal is not concluded yet.

“We shall not be giving parties any date again until the proper thing is done,’’ Aboki held.
The applicant (former National Security Adviser) headed to the appellate court over his prolonged detention by the Department of State Services (DSS).

Dasuki had prayed the appellate court to set aside a judgment by an Abuja High Court that refused to stay proceedings of his trial following his prolonged detention.
