As reported by The Punch, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) brought the charges against Dasuki alongside a former General Manager of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Aminu Baba-Kusa, as well as two companies—Acacia Holdings Limited and Reliance Referral Hospital Limited.
Dasuki and the other defendants are facing a 32-count charge bordering on alleged criminal breach of trust and dishonest release of public funds.
The FCT Chief Judge, Justice Hussein Baba-Yusuf, was previously handling the matter before it was reassigned to Justice Agbaza.
Dasuki was first arraigned on December 14, 2015, alongside a former Director of Finance and Administration in the NSA Office, Shuaibu Salisu, on a 19-count charge linked to an alleged N15.5 billion fraud.
TheTalk.NG earlier reported that EFCC operatives arrested 133 suspects in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja.
The suspects were arrested in connection to a Ponzi Scheme Academy where gullible young Nigerians were trained in the scheme.
The anti-graft agency said the Ponzi Scheme Academy is named Q University (a.k.a Q-Net) for brainwashing young Nigerians that they would graduate into the league of billionaires.
TheTalk.NG also reported that the suspended coordinator of the Edo State Public Safety Response Team (PSRT) Kelly Okungbowa (a.k.a. Ebo Stone) was arrested in Benin City.
Okungbowa was arrested by EFCC operatives on Monday, March 17, 2025, for alleged naira abuse.
The EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, said Okungbowa will be charged to court as soon as investigations are completed.
