The Directorate of State Security (DSS)
has followed up with the reported plan to stop immediate past
National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd.) from
seeking medical treatment abroad, as directed by the court, as it
invaded his Abuja home in the early hours of Thursday.
This Thursday morning,
men of the Department of State Security (DSS), for the second time in
four months, surrounded Dasuki's house in order to scuttle the
court-sanctioned health-related travel.
"They invaded his
Abuja home in the early hours of this morning with some of their
personnel guarding the gate and stationing their vehicles there",
a source said.
Investigations further
revealed that the security agents besieged the Abuja Airport on
Wednesday night to either arrest the ex-NSA or prevent him from
leaving.
"The laid siege at
airport last night; they are now in his house this morning again,"
the source added.
The treason allegation was
however changed to criminal possession of firearms during his
arraignment on August 24, 2015.
However, the prosecuting
counsel and DSS once again amended the case to include money
laundering charges and request for secret trial, which the former NSA
has objected to and pleaded not guilty.
But in a counter
application on October 26, Dasuki asked the court for the release of
his travel passport to enable him attend to his personal health
issues abroad, which was subsequently granted by the Justice Adeniyi
Ademola presided Federal High Court (FHC), Abuja.
