Operatives of the Department for State Security have raided the
house of the immediate past National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki in
Abuja, The Punch is reporting.
On Tuesday, Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered that Dasuki’s passport be released to enable him to travel for medical purposes.
The DSS operatives have therefore allegedly prevented him from
traveling to the United Kingdom to seek treatment for an
undisclosed ailment. Dasuki is facing charges of illegal possession of
firearms and for laundering N84.6 million.
This is the second time Dasuki’s house has been raided by the DSS since Buhari became president. In July, two days after he was replaced as the NSA, the DSS raided his Abuja residence and his family house in Sokoto. Meanwhile, the federal government has hinted that it plans to bring more charges against Dasuki
