Dasuki Refuses To Show Up In Court As Trial Begins.

Former National Security
Adviser, Sambo Dasuki has refused to be brought to court.

Dasuki whose trial is supposed to begin yesterday, 23 March, 2016, following the ruling of the court on February 8, 2016.

He was however not produced in court, and his lead counsel Messrs Joseph
Daudu (SAN) and Ahmed Raji (SAN) also failed to appear. And Dasuki blamed his absence from court on the absence of the senior lawyers defending him from court.

According to the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs:

“The first defendant said he would not be in court
unless he is abducted because his lead counsel,
J.B Daudu and Ahmed Raji, were not going to be in
court,”

Rotimi alleged that Dasuki's lawyers are deliberately plotting to frustrate the case,

saying they refused to visit their client in the DSS’ custody so that they could
continue to use the excuse of lack of access to Dasuki.

Jacobs said, “When a defendant is in custody, the
counsel should be allowed access to the
defendant.

“I asked the DSS whether the lawyers ever made
attempt to see him, they said they never did. It is a
deliberate plant to frustrate the trial.”

THE WILDFLOWER MOVIE REVIEW.

Think of The Wait and how it made you feel. How it brought things you have ever seen, heard of or experienced right to you, that is exactly how you would feel with this movie. This is a movie that is a must watch if you are a mother, an elder sister, if you are connected to a female one way or the other, this movie is for you. Trust Aunty Biodun Stephen to always give you real life and realistic themes and plots. Hence the plot of this movie is so close to home that I could remember some scenarios. But the movie was dragged at so many points. If you are looking for a movie that would kick you in the punch at once, this is not that movie. This is the movie that you have take your time to go through the prolonged actions and scenes, which was caused by some actors, who unfortunately were key players. Anyway, overall, I'd give it an 8/10. Plot is cool. Directing is cool. Delivery wasn't perfect for a lot to cast, even the top ones. Everyone was just at their relaxed mood, whic...
