“I have memory loss” -Dasuki refuses to testify in Metuh’s trial


Sambo Dasuki on Wednesday said he won’t be able to testify in the ongoing trial of Olisa Metuh, former National Publicity Secretary of the PDP due to ‘memory loss’. Dasuki’s counsel, Ahmed Raji told the court that his client cannot testify at the sitting on Wednesday.

He said Dasuki needs access to “relevant files, records and documents required to refresh his memory of any decisions or actions he took or authorised in the course of his duties”, after spending about two years in DSS custody. 

Raji urged the judge to hold on in the course of the proceeding pending the determination of Dasuki’s appeal in the case. 
Emeka Etiaba, Metuh’s counsel, agreed with Dasuki’s plea.

Metuh had requested that Jonathan and Dasuki appear as witnesses in his money laundering case.

From officiallindaikeji : (How to hide a baby bump 101. Suck belle in and wear a high waist...lol). So, a few friends have been calling me, asking me how I'm holding up with all the trolling on the internet since I announced my pregnancy. I kind of felt bad for them because they were worrying over something I wasn't. I've been on the internet for nearly 12 years now, I've made money, I've met amazing people, I've written about folks and stepped on toes (mostly of course, unknowingly...lol). So when people troll me, that's fine. It's called Karma. Lol. Fortunately it doesn't get to me. There's nothing I haven't been called on the internet, and it will never stop because this is where I plan to do business for the rest of my life! So we all are stuck together. I'm not going anywhere...lol. So let's address some issues...and the reason why I bother is for the young girls who look up to me. I owe you and will always speak to help ...

Nobel Peace and  Education activist  Prize winner Malala Yousafzai says the people of Pakistan need to do some soul-searching in the wake of the recent death  of a university student who was beaten to death for professing progressive views about Islam. 23-year-old, Mashal Khan, was lynched by an angry mob after a heated debate about religion spilled out of a dorm and out into the open.  According to Reuters, witnesses claimed police hesitated to save Khan, and an imam at the local mosque refused to read the last rites at his funeral. “This was not just the funeral of Mashal Khan, but a funeral for the message of our religion, which is peace and tolerance,” said Yousafzai, 19, in an Urdu video message broadcast on Pakistani news outlet Geo News. “We have forgotten our values and are not representing our religion,” she continued, adding that the incident “has brought disgrace to our country.” Source...
