Former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd.)
*Urge Buhari to call them to order
A group, Sokoto State Association of Women in Politics (SSAWP), on
Friday condemned the siege on the residence of former National Security
Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd.) by the Department of State
Security ( DSS), describing the action as an encroachment on his
fundamental rights.
Speaking with THISDAY in Sokoto on Friday, its Coordinator, Hajiya Kulu
Abdullahi Rabah, flayed the DSS for laying siege to the residence of
Dasuki despite the court order that granted him permission to travel
abroad for medical checkup.
She maintained that Dasuki was legally allowed to travel abroad for
medical treatment by a competent court of law and as such it was wrong
for the operatives of the DSS to confine him to house arrest without
recourse to due process.
Hajiya Rabah said the action of the DSS had shown that President Muhammadu Buhari's fight against corruption was selective.
According to her, the operatives of the DSS are becoming tools being
used against those in the opposition and perceived enemies of the
present government.
While condemning the DSS action on the encroachment of Dasuki's
fundamental rights, she promised to lead other women in the state to
demand for justice against such action.
She vowed that the Association would not hesitate to drag the Federal
Government and the DSS to court in order to compel them to allow Dasuki
to travel abroad.
