The immediate past National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo
Dasuki (retd.) has been charged to court by the Department
of State Security Services (DSS), over offenses related to
possession of fire arms without license.
A statement by the DSS on Monday issued by Tony
Opuiyo said after searching Dasuki’s houses on July 16,
2015, its men discovered large cache of arms and ammunition
and has subsequently charged him to court.
According to Opuiyo, the search was necessitated by credible
intelligence which linked him to acts capable of undermining
national security.
“The search operation led to the recovery of large cache of
arms and ammunition among other things and for which
further investigation was conducted.
“Consequently, on Monday 24th August, 2015, he was
charged to court based on evidence so far obtained, but which
relates to possession of fire arms without license,” Opuiyo
stated.
He noted that the crime is punishable under section 27(i) (a)
(i) of the Firearms Act Cap F28 LFN 2004, adding that:
“This is in line with democratic practice and our avowed
commitment to the rule of law.”
Opuiyo emphasized that nobody was above the law no
matter how highly placed in the society.
