A credible source has revealed that some of the service chiefs who
worked for Goodluck Jonathan would be charged to court, while others
would serve as prosecution witnesses during the trial of the embattled
former NSA, Sambo Dasuki and others implicated in the presidential
report.
The source, who is a top operative of the DSS in Abuja, said “Not all
ex-service chiefs who will be invited, will be charged to court. Some
will be witnesses. The fact that we are inviting them does not mean that
they have been indicted.”
When contacted to respond to Dasuki’s claim, the Special Adviser to the
President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said the committee’s
work was ongoing.
“We won’t reply Dasuki. Investigation is still ongoing and it will not
be appropriate for us to be replying him. What the panel submitted is
just the preliminary report,” he said.
Meanwhile, PUNCH obtained a copy of a letter by the DSS, dated November
4, 2015, inviting Dasuki to “meet and have audience with the
Director-General, State Services on Thursday, November 5, 2015, by 1100
hours at the National Headquarters of the State Security Service, Aso
Avenue, Maitama,, Abuja”.
But Dasuki, through his counsel, Joseph Daudu (SAN), described the
invitation by the DSS as violating an order of the Federal High Court in
Abuja, where he is being prosecuted for money laundering and illegal
possession of firearms, granting the ex-NSA permission to travel abroad
for medical treatment.
Incidentally, the order of Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High
Court in Abuja was granted on November 4, the same date the letter of
the DSS’ letter of invitation carries.
FG didn’t flout order on Dasuki’s travel, says AGF
Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has
said the FG had not flouted the order of the Federal High Court which
granted Dasuki permission to travel abroad for medicals.
Justifying the barricade erected by the operatives of the DSS at
Dasuki’s Abuja home, AGF Malami said the action was taken due to the
refusal of the ex-NSA to submit himself to investigation on further
allegations apart from the charges that were already preferred against
at the Federal High Court.
