Battle for political power and control is a tough war. It is not yet uhuru for former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki as he was prevented from traveling on Wednesday night, even as operatives of the Department of State Security surround his Abuja residence on Thursday.
Dasuki got an order from the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, which granted his application for speedy and urgent medical treatment abroad and the release of his international passport.
But how come any time a big man is standing trial in Nigeria he will run to foreign hospital?
According to an informed security source, Dasuki was supposed to travel out of the country on Wednesday night but had to return to his home when he got wind that the DSS operatives were waiting for him at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
“Col Dasuki was on his way to the airport (Wednesday) night when he was told that some security operatives from the DSS were waiting for him at the airport to prevent him from traveling. Their thought was that he might not return for trial if allowed to escape”, the source disclosed.
Speaking further, Leadership source said, “As if that was not enough, this morning (yesterday), the DSS operatives surrounded his house in Asokoro as if he has been put under house arrest and as we talking now, they are still there.”
The source further disclosed that the former Adamawa state governor who is his guarantor was invited after the court ruling by the DSS operatives where he was cautioned of the implication of standing as a guarantor to Dasuki who may not return for his trial.
The DSS is said to be very curious of the claim by Dasuki for an oversea treatment.
We hope that if Boko Haram leader is caught one day he will not ask for medical treatment abroad too.
