According to PM news,the Department of State Service {DSS} had filed new charges against the embattled former National Security Adviser,Sambo Dasuki,starting that he left the Nigerian Army without proper resignation.Dasuki who is currently facing corrupt dealings and diversion of $2.1 billion meant for purchase of arms for the Nigerian Armed Forces will be held by the DSS.His new ordeal was revealed by Rotimi Jacobs at the last hearing of the suit against the retired Colonel at Federal Capital Territory,FCT High Court last thursday.Jacobs had attributed the refusal of government to set the former NSA free,in spite of the bail he has been granted by three different courts to this military past.The prosecuting counsel had told the court that Dasuki was a fugitive,having ran away from the Army without proper resignation.Jacobs added that the ex-NSA is being currently held by the Department of State Service {DSS} on alleged breach of army service rule.Jacobs specifically told the court that Dasuki went on an exile for seven years and that during the period he allegedly breached the army service rules.But Ahmed Raji,Dasuki lead counsel disputed the claims.Jacobs in a statement published PRNigeria on Sunday said his client legally left the Army in 1994 and his exit in the military was officially gazetted by the Federal government through the former Head of State,General Abdulsalami Abubakar in 1999.Raji {SAN} therefore claimed that the allegation was a fallacy and a concocted lie to confuse the court as the prosecution has no answer to well grounded objection raised by the defence.The lawyer claimed that the allegation of fugitive against Dasuki cannot hold water on stand in the face of the law in view of the official gazette of the Federal Government that confirmed his retirement from the military.''It is curious that the prosecution counsel who initially claimed ignorance of the reason behind the denisl of bail is now coming up with these excuses..I am tempted to believe that my learned friend Mr.Rotimi Jacobs SAN must bt genuinely mixing up facts or mistake of identity''.Dasuki was among the officer who confronted Late Sani Abacha and insisted that MKO Abiola be freed and allowed to become President over the June 12,1993 President election.This led to the premature retirement of Dasuki and other officers in 1994.The persecution that followed forced him into exile where he joined forces with other patriotic Nigerians to claim for the return of democracy in Nigeria.PR Nigeria however noted in an official Gazette No 33 Volume 86,Dasuki was granted clemency and pardon along with others on March 4,1999 by General Abdulsalam Abubakar,the then Head of State and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces for their innocence and meritorious service to their fatherland.One more photo below.
