ABUJA, NIGERIA - The former National Security Adviser to the President, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd), has condemned an insinuation that the Department of State Security (DSS) operatives invaded his residence last week because he was being investigated over an alleged involvement in Boko Haram attacks.
An associate of the former NSA who visited Daily Trust's office to lodge a complaint over the report which appeared in Daily Trust yesterday stated that Col. Dasuki was worried about the insinuation when "all his life as NSA he was committed to the safety and security of lives of Nigerians, not just the people of the North East."
The associate said the former NSA was very bitter about the report considering the fact the Col. Dasuki is a northerner, a Nigerian and a Muslim, hence it would be unthinkable that he would be involved in a scheme that led to death and misery in the North-East.
According to the associate, "Col. Dasuki cannot comprehend the motive behind the allegation. We don’t play politics with the security of lives and property. The media should be wary of those who use its platform for mischief."
He itemised some of the programmes that Col Dasuki spearheaded to ensure there is security in the country to include, the soft approach to counter-terrorism, where repentant terrorists and victims are rehabilitated.
"He also ensured that the 22 Local Government Areas in the North-East which were under Boko Haram control were liberated completely; Sambisa forest, Gwoza, Baga and Bama were also freed; cattle rustlers were sent packing from the North-West; and some intelligence steps were taken through collaboration with neighbouring countries and other nationals in containing the excesses of the terrorists."
The associate said the former NSA put in place a system that utilised "ways and means" to counter the insurgency.
It would be recalled that operatives of the DSS held Col. Dasuki under house arrest on Thursday and left his residence late Friday after seizing the former NSA's travelling documents.
