Court Orders DSS to Allow Dasuki Access His Lawyers

Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd)
Following a complaint by Colonel Sambo Dasuki ’s lawyer, Adeola Adedipe that the legal team for Dasuki had not been allowed to have direct access to him in spite of a court order made on April 6th, an Abuja High Court has overruled the Federal Government’ s decision to confine the detained former National Security Adviser (NSA) to the premises of the Department of State Security (DSS) to access and brief his lawyers.

Justice Hussein Baba Yusuf who gave the order on Monday directed that henceforth the detained ex-NSA should be allowed by the DSS operatives to access his lawyers within the premises of the Federal Capital Territory Judiciary Headquarters in Maitama Abuja between Monday to Friday this week.

He ordered that Dasuki must be allowed to access and brief his lawyers at a neutral place instead of the premises of the DSS headquarters in Abuja so as to enable him prepare adequately for his defence in the trial.
