Tag efcc combines charges against sambo dasuki

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

The EFCC had initially filed separate charges against Dasuki in 2015, but it has now decided to combine the charges into a single trial. The combined charges are said to be 32-counts, which include allegations of misappropriation of public funds, money laundering, and illegal possession of firearms.

Dasuki is accused of embezzling billions of naira meant for the procurement of arms and equipment for the Nigerian military during his tenure as NSA from 2012 to 2015. He is also accused of using the funds to finance his political ambitions and those of his associates.

The EFCC claims that Dasuki, along with others, diverted the funds to personal use, including the purchase of luxury cars, properties, and other assets. The commission also alleges that Dasuki used the funds to finance the 2015 presidential election campaign of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Dasuki has denied any wrongdoing and has been granted bail by the court. His trial is ongoing, and the EFCC is expected to present evidence to prove its allegations against him.

The combination of charges against Dasuki is seen as a significant development in the case, as it will allow the EFCC to present a more comprehensive case against the former NSA. The trial is expected to continue in the coming weeks, and the outcome will be closely watched by the public and the anti-corruption community.
