Court refuses to accept the application of
Colonel Sambo Dasuki who seeks to quash the charges against him by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Justice peter Affem the trail judge
said
it was the Department of State Services (DSS) which arrested Colonel
Dasuki therefore EFCC had no right to grant him bail. He does not dispute the
anti-graft agency for releasing the former National Security Adviser (NSA) on
bail but is of the view that though the EFCC and the DSS were Agencies of the
Federal Government, the action of one agency should not count for that of the
other saying that they were set up under separate laws and have separate
responsibilities in ensuring law and order in the country.
“To this end, the application has failed in its
entirety.”
