The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice Mr. Abubakar Matami (SAN) on Monday failed to appear before the Federal High Court in Abuja to explain the siege laid on the Asokoro residence of the former National Security Adviser (NSA) Col. Sambo Mohammed Dasuki (rtd) by operatives of the State Security Services (SSS) in spite of the bail granted him by the court.
Instead of the appearance of the AGF, the Director of the Public Prosecution of the Justice ministry, Mr. Mohammed Saidu Diri arrived the court with a fresh motion on notice requesting for revocation of the bail granted the ex-NSA in the unlawful possession of firearms and money laundering charges brought against him.
The motion signed by Diri was brought to the court pursuant to section 169 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015
