Efcc combines charges sambo dasuki

A significant development in the ongoing trial of Sambo Dasuki, the former National Security Adviser (NSA) of Nigeria!

According to reports, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has combined the charges against Sambo Dasuki, who is facing trial for alleged corruption and money laundering.

Here's a brief summary of the development:

• The EFCC had initially filed 19 counts of money laundering and corruption against Dasuki in 2015.
• However, the commission has now combined the charges into a single count of money laundering, which is said to be more comprehensive and covers all the alleged illegal activities.
• The combined charge is said to be more robust and covers the alleged diversion of funds meant for arms procurement and other national security purposes.
• Dasuki is accused of diverting over N130 billion (approximately $350 million) meant for arms procurement and other national security purposes during his tenure as NSA.
• The EFCC claims that Dasuki used the diverted funds to finance his political activities and those of his associates.

The development is significant because it means that Dasuki will now face a single, more comprehensive charge, which could potentially lead to a longer prison sentence if he is found guilty.

It's worth noting that Dasuki has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has claimed that the charges against him are politically motivated. His trial is ongoing, and the outcome is eagerly awaited by many Nigerians who are keen to see justice served in the case.
