Former National Security Adviser
(NSA), Sambo Dasuki has appeared in the trial of former PDP spokesman, Olisa
Metuh before a Federal High Court in Abuja.
However, Dasuki's counsel, Ahmed
Raji (SAN) has opposed his testifying today due to loss of memory following his
two years of incarceration.
He said the evidence to be given,
is only a small aspect of his tenure as NSA, adding that he does not have
"access to relevant files, records and documents required to refresh his
memory of any decisions or actions he took or authorised in the course of his
duties."
Raji asked Justice Okon Abang to
"tarry a while" in proceeding in the matter pending the determination
of the appeal before the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
Metuh's counsel, Emeka Etiaba
(SAN) agreed with Raji that the former NSA need additional time to access his
documents to be able to testify in all the courts he is facing charges.
On Tuesday EFCC Counsel, Sylvanus Tahir read out a text message from the Director of
Legal in the Department of State Services (DSS) that Dasuki, who initially did
not want to testify in the trial, has accepted to testify.
