Director General, National Taskforce to Combat Illegal Importation of Small Arms, Ammunition, and Light Weapons, NATFORCE, Dr. Emmanuel Osita Okereke has alleged that former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki has concluded plans to flee to Syria.
He also disclosed that Dasuki attempted to assassinate him when he revealed his atrocities to former President Goodluck Jonathan.
While speaking to Daily Post, he said Dasuki was one of the people who deceived former President, Goodluck Jonathan, when he convinced him to remove all the service chiefs.
He said “There is information we made available to the former President and he was directed to invite us for more information but Dasuki rebuffed it because he was trying to save his boys and agents.
“We know how many arms that entered this country illegally through various borders, which ex-NSA concealed and protected the suspects.
“My men intercepted 12 trailer load of ammunition at Sema border, and Col. Sambo used his boys to clear the arms and threatened to assassinate me when I wrote to the former President Jonathan.”
He insisted that Dasuki “contributed 80 percent to the security problems we are having today.”
He added that “Somebody like Col. Dasuki (rtd) should not benefit in that hope because he is enemy of progress and rule of law.
“He disobeyed several court orders while in office for his selfish interest. Why is he asking that order of the same court he disobeyed while in office should be obeyed now?
“It is only in Nigeria that somebody who is standing trial in a criminal matter would want to travel abroad for medical checkup”.
“Now, we are talking about insecurity in the country; former EFCC boss Ibrahim Lamorde has escaped through Chad border. This is the man the chairman, Police Service Commission recommended as one of the best police officers, who has done well for his country; today, that same man is now an escapee.”
