Very well written. Thanks

Ben bruce and those calling for the open trial of Sambo Dasuki must be very silly then
laughable comment. The goings-on in the ONSA is already in the public domain anyway, so what is left to hide?
The EFCC and APC should have known that before their media trials.

Yeah but must be vetted by Mr President and not just within the official discretion of the ONSA.
Oh, thanks

SSS operates as a department within the presidency and is under the control of the National Security Adviser.

There may not have been press releases to the best of my knowledge, but deliberate information leak. The EFCC cannot feign ignorance. Otherwise there would been denials from their end.

Most activities of the NSA remains covert and highly sensitive periodically information is made available to the public.
on its operations ie its DeRadicalization program.
The govt is infact going against basic sense by allowing Dasuki proceeding to be overt possibly because of transparency issues.

In most clans his trail will be completely covert only after judgement should the public know the outcome to prevent breach of National security

Silly in what form?

When you demonized someone for carrying out National duties on the pages of newspapers under some phantom 'ARMS PURCHASE' head, and you are now trying him secretly, how is justice being served? How does he defend himself?

When we warned that Buhari's government is destroying Nigeria's security institutions and you cheer him on, why didn't you think of the role of the NSA then? You people always stand reason on its head.

The money allocated to Buhari's NSA now, how are they being utilized?

Dasuki is being tried in the newspapers for a phantom $2.1b arms purchase fund diverted illegally which he has denied consistently whereas he was charged in the open court for misuse of 'funds allocated to his office'.

Is it not more silly not to seek to know what is going on in a open court.

Why the push for this secrecy all of a sudden?

Denials for what? Most of what u have are already charges in courts and many came from the likes of Anenih.

The Department of State Security is in the office of the National Security Adviser. The National Intelligence Agency also report to him, but they are domiciled in the foreign ministry (they are actually under the NSA, but the foreign ministry is their cover).

Do they operate outside the country?

The National Intelligence Agency (NIA) operates outside the country. They've got operatives in all Nigerian embassies around the world.

You won't produce the denial of the part that is false out of the MOST that are in court, would you? 

Court records say Dasuki is charged for illegal disbursement of 'funds allocated to his office' (The same ALLOCATION of funds to the NSA office that forms part of the discussion of your thread, which is the basis for your pushing for a SECRET TRIAL 'as it were'.) ‎But OUR media 'sources' have been saying Dasuki 'stole' $2.1b arms money. ‎‎

And why are Anenih and others not made prosecution witnesses or charged along with Dasuki or charged separately since they have admitted as you claimed?  We also know that Buhari received 2 (nos)‎ SUVs from Dasuki which he has admitted. His associate, Jafaru Isa has also admitted receiving N100m and has agreed to return the sum. Media owners and newspapers editors have also admitted receiving various sums. 

No to secret trial of the so-called 'illegal diversion of $2.1b arms purchase funds'. ‎

'President almost sacking a minister' does not have a single correlation with criminal allegations, demonization and the push for secret trials of an accused who is presumed innocent until proven guilty.  

Did Buhari not tell the whole wide world that he won't allow Dasuki to be released because people lost their lives as a result of 'looted' arms purchase funds, irrespective of what the courts say? Why is he hiding his trial? Why can't he show the world what he has against him in the open and if he is found guilty he can be sent to jail? 

‎Let Dasuki's trial continue in an OPEN COURT. Let's hear his defense. If he is guilty let him be sentenced to jail time. But let's hear how he (mis)allocated the security funds under his care as charged. That's what Buhari wants and it'll serve as a precedence. His own NSA's allocation currently would be a subject of scrutiny one day.

Re: What Exactly Is The Job Of The National Security Adviser? by InvertedHammer: 9:24pm On Jan 24, 2016
Which part don't you understand?

National Security Adviser.

Is it the National security part? Or the Adviser?

Whatever it is supposed to mean, stand it upside down and you will get the true meaning in Nigeria. Why?
Because Nigeria has no intelligence gathering capabilities. They are still doing gossip and "peppersoup" joint level of gathering Intel. No database. You can call in a threat today to any government parastatal and go scotfree. Worst case scenario, they will rope some unfortunate fellows.
