Dasuki Gives Condition To Testify In Metuh’s Case
Embattled erstwhile National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, has asked the Federal High Court in Abuja to order the Department of State Services to release him before he could testify in defence of a former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Olisa Metuh.
Dasuki’s lawyer, Mr. Ahmed Raji (SAN), informed Justice Okon Abang on Monday that his client had filed an application to that effect on October 20 and that same had been served on all the parties to the case.
Raji said Dasuki had asked as an alternative prayer in the application, an order of stay of execution of the subpoena served on the detainee pending his (Dasuki’s) release from the custody of the Department of State Service.
Dasuki has been in the net of the DSS since December 2015 after the ex-NSA was granted bail in respect of two separate sets of charges instituted against him before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory.
Justice Abang had earlier refused to grant Metuh’s request to sign the subpoena to be served on Dasuki.
But the Court of Appeal in Abuja on September 29 overruled the judge and directed him to sign the subpoena.
Justice Abang noted on Monday that he had since complied with the Court of Appeal’s order.
Justice Abang fixed Tuesday for the hearing of the application.
