The trial of a former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (retd), over the alleged diversion of N33.2 billion meant for arms procurement continued on January 13, 2026, before Justice C.O. Agbaza of the Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Maitama, Abuja. The case is being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which alleges large-scale misappropriation of public funds under Dasuki’s tenure at the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).
At the resumed hearing, the first prosecution witness, Dr Michael Adariku, an EFCC investigator, testified on alleged transfers of substantial sums from ONSA accounts to private individuals and companies. Led in evidence by prosecuting counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, SAN, Adariku told the court that N600 million was transferred on April 17, 2015, from an ONSA account domiciled with Zenith Bank to the UBA account of Acacia Holdings Limited, noting that the beneficiary account had a balance of only N27,094.49 prior to the transaction.
