Arrest Order: Dasuki tells his own side of the story, insists on public trial

The Ex-NSA, Col. Sambo Dansuki (rtd) has expressed shock over his arrest, he has also stated his displeasure about the committee findings. He said the committee which was set up to investigate the procurement of arms from 2007 to 2015, had beamed its search light solely on his tenure as NSA.

Reacting to the findings, the ex-NSA said the 13-man panel set up by Buhari to audit the procurement of arms and equipment in the Armed Forces and Defence sector from 2007 to date, never invited him (Dasuki) to appear before it, wondering how it (the panel) came up with the interim report without hearing from him.

He said:

I have never been invited formally or informally to appear before the panel. I am therefore not only surprised, but embarrassed by the seeming indictment by the panel purportedly operating from Office of the National Security Adviser that never contacted me.
For the record I am proud to have served my nation with the best of my intentions and ensured the recovery of more than 22 local government councils from Boko Haram terrorists.
Because of the pride over 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 an 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.
Only my name has been mentioned even when some of the issues were before I came into the government. I leave Nigerians to judge.
