SSS Arrests Ex-NSA Sambo Dasuki In Abuja


Operatives of the Directorate of State Service (DSS) on Thursday night arrested ex-national security adviser (NSA), Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd) in his private residence in the Asokoro district of Abuja.

The operatives in four Hilux vans, led by one Mohammed, stormed the home of the former NSA at about 6:40pm and laid siege on the residence, insisting on seeing Dasuki.

Soldiers guarding the home prevented the DSS operatives from gaining entry into the premises which prompted the DSS boys to threaten to force their way into the house.
According to LEADERSHIP, a similar scenario played out in Sokoto, in the home owned by the former NSA’s father, Ibrahim Dasuki, a former Sultan of Sokoto, where some other DSS operatives also stormed the home apparently in search of retired colonel Dasuki.

The operatives who visited the Dasukis’ Sokoto home were said to have searched the property, including a large container that had been in the compound for many years. They were said to have locked in all occupants of the house and would not allow anyone in or out of the building.

The invasion of the erstwhile NSA’s home may not be unconnected with media reports of a planned probe of the defence budget and other alleged abuses of office by the immediate-past service chiefs who were relieved of their duties this week by President Muhammadu Buhari.

DSS men, in the night, whisked away the ex-NSA to one of their facilities in Abuja for interrogation. A top security source last night confirmed the arrest of Dasuki to LEADERSHIP. As at press time, no reason was given for the former NSA’s arrest.
