After placing him on house arrest for about a month, the State Security
Services on Tuesday arrested a former National Security Adviser, Sambo
Dasuki, driving him away from his Abuja residence.
Mr. Dasuki was first arrested by the SSS in July after a prolonged siege
on his Abuja home. He was charged to court with illegal possession of
arms and money laundering.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court later granted the
retired colonel a request for his passport to be released, to enable him
receive treatment abroad.
However, the former NSA’s plan to travel was thwarted by the SSS, which,
on November 5 laid another siege to his Abuja residence.
But on Tuesday morning, SSS operatives ordered the former security chief
out of his residence and drove him away amidst tight security cover.
A source said he was driven to the SSS headquarters in the Asokoro
District of Abuja but that could not be independent confirmed at this
time.
