Court orders dasukis trial to proceed in his absence

It appears that you are referring to a recent development in the trial of Dasuki, a former National Security Adviser (NSA) in Nigeria.

For those who may not be aware, Dasuki was arrested in 2015 and charged with various corruption-related offenses, including money laundering and illegal possession of firearms. He has been in custody since then, and his trial has been ongoing.

According to reports, the Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered that Dasuki's trial should proceed in his absence. This decision was made after Dasuki's lawyers failed to appear in court to represent him, citing security concerns.

Dasuki's lawyers had earlier requested that the court grant him permission to travel abroad for medical treatment, but the court denied their request. As a result, Dasuki's lawyers failed to appear in court, and the court subsequently ordered that the trial should proceed in his absence.

It is worth noting that Dasuki's trial has been marked by controversy and allegations of political manipulation. Many have criticized the government for what they see as a witch-hunt against Dasuki and other perceived political opponents.

In any case, the court's decision to proceed with the trial in Dasuki's absence is likely to be seen as a significant development in the case. It remains to be seen how the trial will proceed and what the outcome will be.
