REVEALED: Some of Jonathan's Service Chiefs To Be Jailed




A credible source has revealed that some of the service chiefs who worked for Goodluck  Jonathan would be charged to court, while others would serve as prosecution witnesses during the trial of the embattled former NSA, Sambo Dasuki and others implicated in the presidential report.

The source, who is a top operative of the DSS in Abuja, said “Not all ex-service chiefs who will be invited, will be charged to court. Some will be witnesses. The fact that we are inviting them does not mean that they have been indicted.”

When contacted to respond to Dasuki’s claim, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, said the committee’s work was ongoing.

“We won’t reply Dasuki. Investigation is still ongoing and it will not be appropriate for us to be replying him. What the panel submitted is just the preliminary report,” he said.

Meanwhile, PUNCH obtained a copy of a letter by the DSS, dated November 4, 2015, inviting Dasuki to “meet and have audience with the Director-General, State Services on Thursday, November 5, 2015, by 1100 hours at the National Headquarters of the State Security Service, Aso Avenue, Maitama,, Abuja”.

But Dasuki, through his counsel, Joseph Daudu (SAN), described the invitation by the DSS as violating an order of the Federal High Court in Abuja, where he is being prosecuted for money laundering and illegal possession of firearms, granting the ex-NSA permission to travel abroad for medical treatment.

Incidentally, the order of Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court in Abuja was granted on November 4, the same date the letter of the DSS’ letter of invitation carries.

FG didn’t flout order on Dasuki’s travel, says AGF
Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has said the FG had not flouted the order of the Federal High Court which granted Dasuki permission to travel abroad for medicals.

Justifying the barricade erected by the operatives of the DSS at Dasuki’s Abuja home, AGF Malami said the action was taken due to the refusal of the ex-NSA to submit himself to investigation on further allegations apart from the charges that were already preferred against at the Federal High Court.
