Adariku, an officer of EFCC, testified in the ongoing trial of Sambo Dasuki, a former National Security Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan and three others. On trial along with Dasuki were Aminu Baba-Kusa, a former NNPC Executive Director, and two firms- Acacia Holdings and Reliance Referral Hospital. They were arraigned in 2015, on a 19- count charge. EFCC counsel, Mr Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), on May 2 informed the court that the EFCC had amended the charges from 19 to 32, and Salisu was excluded in the amended charge. The 32 charges bordered on criminal breach of trust, misappropriation and dishonest release and receiving of various sums of money to the tune of N33.3 billion. Adariku, the first prosecution witness, said that the transfers were made through the accounts of the company owned by Baba-Kusa.
