The immediate National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo
Dasuki retired has denied ever receiving any invitation letter to appear before
a Committee set up by the current administration to investigate procurement
processes relating to any arms transaction by the last administration, under
which he served.
Responding to a statement of Department of State Services
(DSS), who laid y siege on his residence on the day he was supposed to travel
abroad for medical treatment, Dasuki added that it was strange that a committee
purported to be operating from the Office of the National Security Adviser
could have transferred its mandates to DSS.
Dasuki was first arrested by the SSS in July after a
prolonged siege on his Abuja residence. He was charged to court with illegal
possession of arms and money laundering.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court last
Tuesday granted Mr. Dasuki’s request for his passport to be released, to enable
him receive treatment abroad.
His attempt to travel on Wednesday and Thursday for the
medical treatment was thwarted by operative of secret service.
