Breaking: Dasuki Granted N200m Bail

A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, who has been in detention since 2015 on charges of money laundering and illegal possession of firearms.

Dasuki was granted bail in the sum of N200 million (approximately $550,000) with two sureties who must be resident in Abuja. The sureties must also deposit their international passports with the court.

The bail was granted by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, who ordered that Dasuki should not travel outside the country without the permission of the court.

Dasuki's counsel, Joseph Daudu (SAN), had earlier argued that his client was not a flight risk and that he was willing to provide a substantial surety to secure his release.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had earlier opposed Dasuki's bail application, arguing that he was a flight risk and that he had a history of jumping bail.

Dasuki was arrested in 2015 and has been in detention since then on charges of mismanaging $2.1 billion meant for arms procurement during the Goodluck Jonathan administration.

The bail grant is seen as a significant development in the case, as it could pave the way for Dasuki's release from detention. However, the EFCC has indicated that it will appeal the bail grant, which could lead to a prolonged legal battle.
