The trouble of the former National Security Adviser (NSA), retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki seems getting compounded as the operatives of the Department of the State Security Service (DSS) promptly re-arrested him as he emerged from the Kuje prison, on bail.
He was re-arrested while he was about leave the prison after meeting the bail conditions set for him by a Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja.
The DSS took custody of Dasuki shortly after perfecting the third bail granted him by Justice Peter Affem even as two other courts also granted him bail.
Counsel for Dasuki , Ahmed Raji (SAN), said that the former NSA had met all the bail conditions given by Justice Affem but regretted that the court order was not obeyed by the operatives of the DSS.
“That’s correct; he was re-arrested by the operatives of the DSS and whisked away to an unknown destination.
“He met the bail conditions set for him by the judge, but as he was stepping outside the prison, he was arrested.”
Raji who perfected the bail condition of his client disclosed that the actions of the security agents was an affront on the rule of law under democracy.
The lawyer appealed to the authorities of the security agents and the federal government to respect court order and allow Dasuki to enjoy the bail granted him by the court.
Dasuki is facing two sets of criminal charges involving alleged diversion of about N45 billion meant for arms procurement along with others before two judges of the FCT High Court, Abuja. [myad]
