Nigeria's Federal Government yesterday lost its bid to conduct a secret trial of former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki, at the Federal High Court, Abuja.
The court also ordered that Tuesdays and Thursdays be set aside for Dasuki to have free access to his lawyers and family members for at least, two hours on each of the days
.
Dasuki is standing trial for alleged unlawful possession of firearms and money laundering brought against him in September 2015 by agencies of the Federal Government.
The court, however, ruled yesterday that there was no point for the witnesses who shall be called to testify in the matter to wear masks and bear pseudo names and addresses so as to ensure their protection.
