DSS operatives invade Ex-NSA’s residences
Operatives of the Department of State Services on Thursday invaded the
Asokoro, Abuja residence of the former National Security Adviser, Sambo
Dasuki.It was learnt that the operation which was said to have been
authorized by the top hierarchy of the DSS, was in connection with the
secret probe into how billions of naira allocated for the war against
terrorism was allegedly looted.
The personnel were said to have searched the house and left after some time.
Our correspondent could not immediately ascertain whether Dasuki was
arrested or detained overnight by his unexpected gun-wielding visitors,
but security sources said it is highly likely that the ex-NSA may be
whisked away or invited subsequently for interrogation on how he
administered the billions that was released for prosecution of the
terrorism war in the North-East.
Sources described the onslaught against Dasuki as the “fore-taste of
what would likely happen to senior officials in the past administration
who were suspected to have embezzled or mismanaged public funds.”
The former NSA coordinated the war against terrorism and his office
received billions naira to prosecute the counter-insurgency operations
against the violent Boko Haram sect.
Dasuki who was appointed as NSA by former President Goodluck Jonathan in
2012, was relieved of his appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari a
few days ago.
It was gathered that the operation against was Dasuki was two-pronged as
a team of DSS operatives was also deployed to his family house in
Sokoto.
The source said, “The invasion of Dasuki’s residence is not unconnected
with the determination of the current administration to recover all
looted funds by senior officials of the past government, so no one
should read any political motives to it.”
The DSS spokesperson, Marilyn Ogar could not be reached for comment as
she did not respond to calls to her phone. A text message sent to her
failed to deliver.
