An Abuja High Court has again reaffirmed the bail granted former National Security Adviseer, Colonel Sambi Dasuki and five others in the arm deal trial involving $2.1bn. Justice Baba Yusuf reaffirmed the bail on Dasuki on the ground that he was entitled to it and having being admitted to same since 2015 when the federal government brought criminal charges against him.

Dasuki and five others were re-arraigned before Justice Baba Yusuf on the criminal charges that was transferred from Justice Peter Affen of the FCT High Court to the new court. However after the 22 count charges were read to the six defendants and all pleaded not guilty, counsel to Dasuki, Mr. Ahmed Raji applied to the court to reaffirm the bail granted to the ex-NSA even though he has not been allowed to enjoy same since December 2015.
