SSS operatives takes over ex-NSA Sambo Dasuki’s houses

Personnel of the State Security Service, SSS, are currently laying siege on the private residence of the immediate past National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, in Asokoro district of Abuja.

A source in the House informed PREMIUM TIMES that the operatives, led by one Mohammed, arrived Mr. Dasuki’s residence at about 6:40 pm and asked all the soldiers on guard to stay away. They said they were at the property to see the former NSA for official reasons.

The source also said another set of SSS operatives are presently carrying out a similar siege on Mr. Dasuki’s family House, owned by his father, a former Sultan of Sokoto, Abubakar Dasuki, in Sokoto metropolis.

“They have descended on our House and have so far searched the whole House including a large container that has been in the compound for many years,” the source said of the Sokoto Home.
He also said the operatives have locked all occupants of the House inside and are not allowing anyone in or out of the building.
Our Abuja source said the SSS operatives are still outside the residence of Mr. Dasuki insisting on “seeing” him.

“He has refused to let them in and right now they are threatening to force themselves in,” he said.
Mr. Dasuki was relieved of his appointment as NSA this week by President Muhammadu Buhari. He was appointed NSA by former President Goodluck Jonathan on June 22, 2012 to succeed, Andrew Azazi, who died in a helicopter crash in Bayelsa state.
