DSS raids Dasuki’s house in Abuja, stops ex-NSA’s trip
Operatives of the Department of State Services are laying siege to the Asokoro residence of the immediate past National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd).
The operatives, in two black vans of the secret police, were at the gate of the residence of the former NSA as of the time of filing this report.
Investigations revealed that the DSS operatives besieged the residence of Dasuki with the intent to prevent him from embarking on a planned trip to the UK for medical treatment.
It was gathered that Dasuki was billed to travel out of the country on Wednesday night through a Lufthansa flight but had to call off the trip when it was discovered that DSS operatives were waiting for him at the airport.
He was said to have decided to postpone the journey to Thursday in order to avoid any incident at the airport.
The source said the former NSA was surprised when his residence was again besieged by operatives of the SSS on Thursday.
The source said, “The SSS are raiding the residence of the former NSA, Dasuki again.
“We really can’t say why they went there. They were with two of their operational vehicles painted in black and are parked outside.
“You know that the man was to travel to the UK via a Lufthansa Flight on Wednesday night.
“The man had to call off the journey when it was realised that the SSS had gone to the airport to lay siege to him.
“Then, this morning, they went to the house, nobody knows their intention for now.”
The SSS had raided the residence of the former NSA on July 19, 2015 and confiscated his international passport.
He was later arraigned in court for illegal possession of firearms and illegal possession of local and foreign currencies.
However, the Presiding Judge, Justice Adeniyi Ademola, ordered the release of the passport to Dasuki in a ruling on Tuesday in response to a motion filed by Dasuki’s legal team.
