Former Sultan of Sokoto and father of Nigeria’s immediate past National Security Adviser (NSA), Ibrahim Dasuki, has said he still doesn’t understand why his home was chosen when the DSS went searching for weapons, treasonable felony and bulletproof cars allegedly kept by Sambo Dasuki.
The 94-year-old Dasuki was speaking to the Hausa Service of the BBC.
“I don’t know what they were looking for in my house. Even, I have not spoken with a member of my staff who they opened the house with. They entered into the ceiling of rooms belonging to women and no one said they found anything.
“They entered my portion of the house, there were two safes, they said they found an old Certificate of Occupancy of a house and that in one (of the safes), they found an empty envelop, that is what they said.”
The DSS operatives said they found a container in the Sokoto home of the Dasukis and Dasuki senior says he can explain that bit.
“The container is on one side in the compound. Aliyu Dasuki (deceased) is my son, I am a younger brother to his father, and his wife is my daughter. When he died, his wife’s belongings mainly old furniture and mattresses are the things inside the container.
“They opened it. Like I told you before, even the member of my staff who was there, I have not been able to speak with him to know what exactly happened.
“All I have heard is hearsay and if he told me what happened, in the end, like I did before, I will leave everything to Allah.”
Dasuki (snr) said if the DSS has anything against his son, they should restrict it to him and not spread the hate around. He said there aren’t welcome in his home, in any case.
“They did not go to Sambo Dasuki’s house, they went to my house (Sambo Dasuki’s Abuja homes were actually searched as well). All my children have a right to my house. Sambo Dasuki is almost 60 years old, he is a man of his own. Can you hold a father responsible for the actions of his son?” he queried.
“Sambo Dasuki worked for the Nigerian government; they should ask him,” said the senior Dasuki.
The DSS announced that it had recovered exotic bulletproof cars, rifles and magazines in Dasuki’s homes. The agency said it has evidence Dasuki had become a danger to the State.
