The operatives of Department of State Service (DSS) Tuesday morning picked the immediate National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (Rtd) to their office in Abuja.
Dasuki had been placed under house arrest in his Abuja home since November 4, 2015 by the DSS, a day after a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja granted him leave to travel abroad for medical treatment.
The court gave him three weeks for the trip and was expected to return November 26, 2015.
The DSS said Dasuki had been indicted in another investigation involving the purchase of arms during the regime of former President Goodluck Jonathan when he served as NSA, in which a former Minister of State for Finance, Bashir Yuguda, has been arrested in connection with the arms purchase investigation.
Recently Dasuki denied ever receiving any formal or informal invitation to appear before an Investigative Panel on the Procurement of hardware and munitions in the armed forces.
While responding to a statement from the Presidency he said he was never been invited formally or informally to appear before the panel.
He added that: “For the record I am proud to serve my nation with the best of intention and ensuring the recovery of more than 22 local government councils from Boko Haram terrorists.
“Because of the pride on how we tackled terrorism and defeated Boko Haram terrorists through our gallant troops and partners in the twilight of the previous administration, that is the reason I have insisted on open and public trial of my stewardship rather than secret trial in the court as being canvassed by my prosecutors.
“I wish Nigerians will go back and reflect on what we did with even little or no supports from some countries, we performed miracles before the emergence of this administration. I even though the committee was to investigate procurement from 2007 to 2015. Yet only my name is always being mentioned even when some of the issues were before I came into the government.
