Nigeria’s former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, whose residence was reportedly raided earlier today has narrated what transpired between him and DSS operatives who accosted him.
He said the SSS operatives arrived his Abuja residence early Thursday and told his personal security at the gate that they needed to deliver a letter of invitation for him to report at the SSS office by 11am same day.
“I told them that if it is just a letter of invite, they can drop it with my domestic staff, but they insisted that I must come out and collect it myself,” Mr. Dasuki said.
“I told them that unless they had a warrant allowing them to arrest me, I do not have to collect the letter from them and I am also not going anywhere without my lawyer,” he said.
Mr. Dasuki said after making his position clear, the SSS operatives threatened his personal security saying they “can force themselves into the House”.
He said his current travails started on Tuesday after Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High court ordered his passport returned to him to enable him go abroad for medical treatment.
“Instead of following the legal way of doing things, some people decided to take the laws into their hands and see where we are today,” he said.
