Former National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki was detained on July 16, Thursday by Department of State Services (DSS) personnel.
As Naij.com reports earlier DSS operatives in four Hilux vans, ruled by Mohammed, stormed Dasuko’s private residence in Abuja at about 6:40pm and laid siege on in, insisting on seeing Dasuki.
It was also learnt that something similar occurred in Sokoto, in the home belonged to ex- NSA’s father, Ibrahim Dasuki, a former Sultan of Sokoto, where some other SSS personnel also stormed the home seemingly in search of the retired colonel.

They have shut down all occupants of the house and would not permit anyone in or out of the premises.
The siege of the one-time NSA’s home may not be separate from the media reports of an intended investigation of the defence budget and other supposed abuses of office by the immediate-past service chiefs who were fired this week.
The DSS operatives later in the night whisked away the former NSA to one of their facilities in Abuja for interrogation.
Later in the night security operatives took away Dasuki for questioning.
A security source confirmed the detention of ex- NSA, but the reason of the arrest is yet to be given.
One source close to Col Dasuki said:
“The ex- national security adviser was shocked that he was not contacted or invited for interaction on any issue.
Dasuki is suspecting that there is a motive to make him to spend the Sallah break in detention.
“As I am talking to you, neither the director- general of the DSS, Lawal Musa Daura, nor any of the operatives in his house has spoken with Dasuki.
All they wanted was for him to surrender.”
