The Sambo Dasuki Foundation has commended the federal government for releasing former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), from detention.
The Foundation’s Sokoto state coordinator, Malam Suleiman Galadima, disclosed this in a statement issued on Friday in Sokoto.
Galadima said the release of Dasuki, who was the grand patron of the Foundation, was triumph of the rule of law, adding that by the gesture President Muhammadu Buhari was on his way to becoming a great democrat.
“His release was also in line with the teachings of the great Prophet of Islam Muhammad (PBUH) as entrenched by our forefathers who founded the Sokoto Caliphate. Dasuki has also decided to forgive those having hands in his ordeal and persecution,’’ he said in the statement.
Blueprint Weekend recalls that the federal government had on December 24, 2019, ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to comply with the court bail granted Dasuki by releasing him from detention.
Dasuki was facing trial on an alleged diversion of N19.4 billion arms funds as well as illegal possession of arms.
