Former National Security Adviser, NSA, Sambo Dasuki’s wife on Tuesday night created a scene at the headquarters of the Department of State Security Service (DSS).
''Nigerians should help me beg the Federal Government, the DSS and other agencies to release my husband who did his best to serve this nation. He is ill, he needs medical attention, he is not pretending. I implore the DSS not to allow him to die in custody. I saw my husband and I felt dejected. He is not just well. Nigerians should assist him to get a reprieve. We (myself, the children and relations) are all destabilised. We don’t know what is happening because three courts have granted him bail. Why are they after him? Let those concerned respect the court by releasing my husband. There is no way my husband will run away from the country under any guise. They should please follow the rule of law and uphold his right to bail.''
Mrs. Dasuki and relatives of the ex-NSA had waited patiently for Dasuki to meet the last peg of his bail conditions, a surety with about N250million property. But immediately Dasuki was released at the prison, he was re-arrested by the DSS.
After several hours of trying to locate her husband, she returned to the DSS office and demanded for him or in the alternative, she should be locked up with him.
A source said Dasuki’s wife was allowed to see her husband.
''We have followed the rule of law , the ex-NSA is in safe custody. He was once in DSS custody and he was never maltreated and he had access to medicare,'' the source said.
