Sambo Dasuki
Sambo Dasuki could be re-uniting with his aged father and family
soonest, following a sketchy revelation by online news platform, Sahara
Reporters.
Mr. Dasuki has been incarcerated since the early days of the
President Muhammadu Buhari administration for the alleged
misappropriation of $2.1 billion originally budgeted to procure arms for
the Nigerian army to combat the Boko Haram sect.
Dasuki could be covertly taken to the northern part of the country
by the operatives of the Directorate of State Security to visit his aged
father after which he would be released on bail. This is coming on the
heels of the ruling by an ECOWAS court that ordered the Nigerian Government to release Dasuki immediately and compensate him with a sum of N15 million for his extended incarceration without bail.
It would be recalled that President Buhari during a presidential
media chat reaffirmed his stand on the continued detention of Dasuki on
the grounds of corruption and gross abuse of office.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government was yet to make an official
announcement concerning the freedom of Dasuki as at the time of filing
this report.
