What Is Been Found In Ex-nsa Adviser To Jonathan Sambo Dasuki. by ladkud(m): 7:22am On Jul 19, 2015 |
The Department of State Services (DSS) has
disclosed that its operatives invaded the Abuja
home of the immediate past National Security
Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd),
after it received intelligence report that the
former security adviser to former President
Goodluck Jonathan, was allegedly planning to
commit “treasonable felony against the
Nigerian State.”
A statement signed by Mr. Tony Opuiyo, said
the action of the secret service on Thursday,
was in “line with current management resolve
to be proactive and pre-empt individuals with
penchant for impunity and lawlessness from
putting back the nation to the dark days.”
The statement accused the former NSA of
preventing a legal assignment by operatives of
the DSS, who were said to have presented a
validly issued and signed search warrant.
It said the operation, which was planned to
last no more than two hours, entered the next
day (Friday), owing to Dasuki’s alleged refusal
to allow the DSS’ personnel access to his No.
13 John Kadiya Street in Asokoro, Abuja.
The DSS said it recovered “incriminating
items”, including seven high calibre rifles, (high
assault weapons), several magazines and
military related gears, 12 new vehicles, out of
which five were bullet proof.
The statement reads in full: “On 16th July,
2015, about 1650 hours, based on credible
intelligence linking the immediate past NSA,
Mohammed Sambo DASUKI (Col Rtd) with
alleged plans to commit treasonable felony
against the Nigerian State, operatives of the
Department of State Services (DSS) conducted
a search on the properties belonging to the
former NSA, Mohammed Sambo DASUKI (Col
Rtd). The properties are on Nos. 13, John
Khadya Street, Nos. 46, Nelson Mandela
Street, both at Asokoro, Abuja, and Nos. 3
Sabon Birni Road, Gwiwa Area, Sokoto, Sokoto
State.
“The search operations was planned to be
simultaneously conducted, but DASUKI, refused
the operatives entry into his main residence
located at No. 13 John Khadya Street,
Asokoro, despite being presented with a
genuine and duly signed search warrant.
Consequently, what was to last not more than
two (2) hours, lasted more than ten (10)
hours, up till the early hours of 17th July,
2015. Indeed if not for the sense of maturity
and professionalism of the officers and men
assigned this task and the very good
understanding and timely intervention of the
new Chief of Army Staff, Tsukur Y. BURATAI
(Maj Gen), there would have been a clash
between the Army operatives guarding the
house and Service operatives, as SAMBO
directed the soldiers on duty not to allow any
movement into his house, despite the
subsisting court order. SAMBO thereafter raised
a false alarm to the military authorities to
come to his aid as he failed to correctly tell
the military that his property was about to be
legitimately searched.
“Gentlemen, please recall that SAMBO retired
from the Army as a Colonel, and therefore not
entitled to have military guards, if not for the
fact he was NSA. Even as NSA, such guards
should have been withdrawn after his removal
as NSA since he would not have been entitled.
“The search was thoroughly conducted, and
several items recovered, among which were
some incriminating items. These include seven
(7) high calibre rifles, (high assault weapons),
several magazines and military related gears.
“The team also recovered twelve (12) new
vehicles, out of which five (5) were bullet
proofs. These vehicles which are all exotic
vehicles were retrieved from SAMBO’s
residence having failed to produce evidence of
ownership. For instance, what could he be
doing with five (5) bullet proof cars as a retired
NSA?. These cars which from all available
evidence were purchased with tax payers’
money were being kept for possible sinister
enterprise.
“The Service would want to state categorically
that this search operation is not a witch hunt.
The Service decided to move at this time in
line with current Management resolve to be
proactive and pre-empt individuals with
penchant for impunity and lawlessness from
putting back the nation to the dark days. The
Service is also aware that the lethal arms and
the vehicles recovered were not reflected in
SAMBO’s handover notes or what could a
former NSA be doing with destructive weapons
and bullet proof cars which put together could
disrupt the peace of any city in Nigeria for a
while.
“On the search of his three (3) properties,
including the Sokoto residence, the Service is
aware that in his capacity and given his
antecedents, he might decide to use any of his
residences for such diabolical plans, rather
than his main residence.
“Gentlemen of the press, the Service
Management would want to assure members
of the public that it would not trample on the
freedom of individuals or groups as guaranteed
by the Nigerian Constitution and emphasized
by the current administration’s position on
transparency, and probity underlined by justice
and equity for all Nigerians. This is the driving
force for all DSS operations. However, the
Service would not hesitate to go after any
person or group of persons, no matter how
highly placed once such individual (s) breach
or attempt to breach the laws of the
Federation. The days for impunity and
indecisiveness in the face of unpatriotic acts by
individuals operating against the State are
over. The Service hereby appeals to all
Nigerians to be law abiding and partner with it
in ensuring a peaceful and secured nation. In
the same vein, those that are bent on breaking
the rules governing our peaceful co-existence
due to either the huge ill gotten wealth they
have acquired or imaginary hold they think
they have on our nation’s survival, are being
warned to rethink. The DSS will use all
constitutional means as defined by its mandate
to deal decisively with such unpatriotic
individuals.
“The Management want to seize this
opportunity to appreciate Nigerians for the
tremendous acts of goodwill that is being
extended to the new dispensation. The
Management also wish to assure Nigerians
that the gesture and confidence being
expressed will be reciprocated with more
dedication and service to our dear country
Nigeria.” |
