Immediate past National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd.), has vowed to sue the State Security Service (SSS) for laying siege to his Asokoro, Abuja, residence.
“Dasuki has vowed to challenge the action by seeking legal redress in order to enforce his fundamental human rights,” PRNigeria reported last night.
After more than 24 hours of siege, the Federal Government had yesterday evening ordered SSS operatives to withdraw from Dasuki’s home.
“This was however effected only after they seized his International Passports and other vital documents,” PRNigeria reported.
It said that “even though there is no more restriction of his movement, Dasuki still feels aggrieved that he was deprived of performing his religious obligation of attending the Eid Prayers, making the end of Ramadan Fasting.”
