The trial of former National Security Adviser (NSA), retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki over alleged possession of illegal arms and money laundering has been fixed for October 19.

Dasuki walked into the Federal High Court, Abuja premises about 10.45 am accompanied by his lawyer, Ahmed Raji (SAN) while three security operatives followed at a distance. He and his lawyer wore kaftan with cap to match.

They headed straight to the court room where his trial was due to continue. But the court was not in session as the presiding judge, Justice Adeniyi Ademola was yet to resume from the annual vacation.

Dasuki was arraigned on a five count charge of illegal possession of firearms and money laundering in August, 2015 following days of security blockade of his Abuja residence by the Department of State Services (DSS).
