Buhari can’t order my arrest –Dasuki

  • Dasuki: ‘I was just the clearing house’

Embattled former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd), yesterday declared that the Federal Government cannot arrest him.
President Muhammadu Buhari had, on Tuesday, ordered the arrest of Dasuki and other unnamed government officials over armed procurement contracts running into billions of dollars.
Dasuki, who has been held hostage by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), told New Telegraph that there was no way the government can arrest him unless the court rulings on his status are appealed and won by the government.
But some Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) told New Telegraph that nothing stops the Federal Government from effecting the former NSA’s arrest. In a text message to one of our correspondents, Dasuki said: “They (Federal Government) cannot legally arrest me.
They can only appeal, but not vacate the order.” Dasuki, who stated that he did not know those who were indicted with him in the interim report, said that he was still waiting for the next line of action from the government. A source said the Federal Government, through the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, is working on clearing any impediment to effect his arrest.
