The embattled former National Security Adviser( NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki(retd.), has said he is not ready for trial until the Federal Government complies with an order of the Federal High Court granting him bail. Recall in November 2015, Justice Adeniyi Ademola had granted Dasuki bail but the Department of State Services(DSS), rearrested him immediately after his release from Kuje prison. According to Joseph Daudu, counsel to Dasuki: “We cannot be ready for trial until the defendant enjoys his constitutional rights. We apply that we should be given time to prepare the defence. The conduct of the prosecution has not enabled him to enjoy his constitutional rights. The worst thing is that for about seven weeks we have had no idea of his whereabouts.” The court has adjourned till March 3 for the hearing on a motion to discharge Dasuki.
