The Federal Government has added a charge of money laundering against the immediate past National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Mohammed Sambo Dasuki (rtd) at the Federal High Court (FHC) Abuja, after earlier filing some against him.
The prosecution counsel, Shuaib Labaran, at the resumed hearing today, filed the fresh charge against Dasuki and also prayed the court to, amongst other things, grant its request for a secret trial, as well as masking the witnesses brought by the Department of State Services (DSS).
Labaran also accused the former NSA of possessing some cash which was found in his house, allegedly bordering on money laundering.
Though the defence counsel, Joseph Daudu (SAN), opposed the application on the grounds that the case is a harmless one within a democratic setting that does not warrant secret trial, the presiding Judge fixed Wednesday, October 28, 2015, for ruling.
