The Department of State Services, DSS,
continued siege to the residence of former National Security Adviser,
Colonel Sambo Dasuki (Rtd) is as a result of the agency wanting to lay
their hands on the tape of the secret meeting former INEC chairman
Professor Attahiru Jega held with Northern leaders in Dubai which is in
Dasuki’s possession.
The DSS had on July 9, 2015, on a Thursday,
raided Dasuki’s Abuja and Sokoto homes which the agency claimed to be
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.
However, it has been learnt that the tape
of the secret meeting Jega had with Northern elders in Dubai in Dasuki’s
possession is the reason why the DSS invaded his house.
On the 5th of November, three months after
raiding his Abuja residence, operatives of the Department of State
Services (DSS) again returned to Sambo’s house.
Investigations revealed that the DSS
operatives besieged the residence of Dasuki with the intent to prevent
him from embarking on a supposed planned trip to the UK for medical
treatment.
On Tuesday, a court had ruled that Dasuki’s
international passport, which was seized by the DSS, should be released
to enable him travel abroad for medical treatment which led to the DSS
operatives besieging his residence with the intent to prevent him from
embarking on a planned trip to the UK for medical treatment.
Reports indicate that the DSS is trying to
stop Dasuki from taking abroad the tape of Jega’s pre-election secret
meeting with Northern elders in Dubai abroad – as the content of the
tape is rumored to be whistle-blower on the 2015 Presidential election.
Professor Jega Dubai meeting with Northern
elders in Dubai had been the basis that calls for Jega’s resignation was
tagged on, with some reports before the election indicating that he had
submitted his resignation which was rejected by Goodluck Jonathan –
based on public outcry which would have followed suit.
