Reasons Sambo Dasuki was arrested again

 

The Department of State Security Services, SSS, has placed former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, under house arrest.

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 last Tuesday granted Mr. Dasuki’s request for his passport to be released, to enable him receive treatment abroad.

However, it was gathered that the former NSA’s plan to travel on Wednesday night was thwarted by the SSS.

A source who declined to be named for security reasons said the SSS had succeeded in getting a warrant to enable them keep him under house arrest until the next adjourned date.

“The DSS suspects that the former NSA may not return to the country and are therefore, doing everything to make sure he does not leave Nigeria,” the source said.
