Ahmed Raji, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, and counsel to the detained former National Security Adviser, retired Colonel Mohammed Sambo Dasuki, has reacted to claims that the Federal government offered his client the opportunity to attend the burial of his late father and 18th Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Ibrahim Dasuki.
Addressing journalists at the FCT High Court, Abuja, Raji said, ''As his counsel, we are not aware of that offer. Our client has not told us anything of that nature. We would have expected that if such a gesture was going to be made to him we as his counsel should have been involved so that we can advise him properly. As I am speaking to you, I am hearing of this for the first time.”
Meanwhile, Dasuki’s trial on the alleged arms deals filed against him by the Federal Government at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory has been adjourned to December 7, 2016.
