Breaking: DSS Lays Siege To Dasuki’s House
There seems to be a fresh attention on the home of the former National Security Adviser, Retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki, as men of the Department of State Security (DSS) have increased their presence.
It is not exactly clear why the fresh occupation is taking place but there are strong indication that Colonel Dasuki is being prevented from seeking medical attention abroad.
Although agency report says he has been placed on house arrest as his home in the nation’s capital, Abuja is currently surrounded by men of the DSS.
The former NSA was charged to court with illegal possession of arms following a siege to his Abuja home and subsequent arrest in July.
The charge against him was later expanded to include money laundering. But a Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday granted Mr Dasuki permission to travel abroad for medical attention pending the commencement of his trial on the November 26 and 27.
Ruling on the application filed by Mr Dasuki, Justice Adeniyi Ademola granted the former National Security Adviser a period of three weeks within which to take care of his health abroad.
It is not clear if the latest action by the DSS is aimed at preventing him from travelling abroad.(Channels TV)
