Breaking: Court Grants Dasuki, Others Bail
The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, and others who are facing trial for alleged corruption and money laundering.
Dasuki, who has been in detention since 2015, was granted bail in the sum of N100 million (approximately $275,000) with two sureties, one of whom must be a senior public servant not below the rank of a director.
The court also granted bail to other co-defendants, including a former Director of Finance and Administration in the Office of the NSA, Shuaibu Salisu, and a former Director of Finance in the Office of the NSA, Sagir Mohammed.
The bail conditions were granted by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, who ordered that the defendants must deposit their international passports and must not travel outside the country without the permission of the court.
Dasuki and his co-defendants are facing trial on charges of alleged corruption and money laundering, including the diversion of $2.1 billion meant for the procurement of arms and equipment for the Nigerian military.
The bail grant is seen as a significant development in the case, as it could pave the way for Dasuki's release from detention and potentially affect the outcome of the trial.
It's worth noting that the bail grant is subject to the discretion of the court and can be revoked if the defendants fail to comply with the conditions of their bail.
