THE trial was on Wednesday stalled in the unlawful possession of firearms and money laundering charges brought against the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Mohammed Sambo Dasuki (RTD) by the Federal Government since 2015. He, however, added that Dasuki has been consistent in appearing in court for his trial and that the allegation that he (Dasuki) refused to come in court was an issue that requires evidence. However, the trial Judge informed that the lead defence counsel, J. Justice Mohammed said even if Dasuki was in court, the matter could not have come up because of the absence of the defence counsel and adjourned till February 8, 2018 , for the continuation of trial. Counts six and seven bordered on alleged money laundering offences to the tune of $190,000 and N42million found in his residence.
