Buhari Orders Dasuki’s Release On One Condition

President Muhammadu Buhari has according to reports, ordered the
release of National Security Adviser, NSA, Col Sambo Dasuki only if he can return stolen funds.

According to a report by Vanguard Newspaper, President
Buhari recently directed relevant authorities to recover funds said to have
been misappropriated by Dasuki while in office and set him free.

The aide said, “I can tell you that the President is not comfortable
with the continued detention of Dasuki despite the offences he allegedly
committed against Nigeria and its people.

“The only condition Mr President has asked Dasuki to fulfil
is to refund the huge sum of public funds which were allegedly diverted under
his watch as the NSA.

“And I want to tell you that we have the approval of Mr.
President to release him (Dasuki) from detention as soon as he brings the
money,” the official said.

This is coming few weeks after the ECOWAS regional court has
granted Dasuki bail saying his arrest by the Federal Government is not in
accordance with his Human Right.

In December 2015, the Department of State Services, DSS, had
arrested Dasuki for allegedly misappropriating $15 billion of funds meant for
purchase of arms for troops fighting Boko Haram terrorists in the North East.
