The former NSA told the court through his counsel, Olukayode Ariwoola that he was withdrawing the two applications because they had been overtaken by the event of his release by the Federal Government. Responding, the prosecuting counsel, Mr Dipo Okpeseyi (SAN), said he had no objection to the request to have the applications withdrawn. The trial judge, Justice Ahmed Ramat Mohammed subsequently struck out the applications and adjourned trial in the matter till March 11 and 12, 2020. But none of the two other cases had come up since December 24, 2019, when he was released from the custody of the DSS. According to the AGF, Dasuki’s release was in compliance with the bail granted him by various courts.
