The case of the alleged arms procurement fraud leveled against the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki seem to be revolving in circles as the Presidency has stated that the embattled ex NSA refused to honour panel's invitation.
The Presidency has flayed the claim by the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), that he was not invited by the presidential committee probing the procurement and supply of arms during the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
According to an anonymous source in the Presidency, on Thursday, November 19, said that the Federal Government was in possession of evidence to show that Dasuki was duly invited to clear his name.
He said the Department of State Services, DSS, duly invited the ex-NSA, who in turn refused to honour the invitation.
The source close to the presidency said that a summons served on Dasuki was duly acknowledged by his lawyer.
The source said: “He was invited by the DSS and he refused to honour the invitation despite that his lawyer acknowledged the document.
“Instead for Dasuki to honour the invitation, he remained indoors and was whipping up sentiment.
“If he is taken to any court without his statement, the case will automatically be thrown out.”
He said at the appropriate time, Nigerians would know more about the allegations against the ex-NSA.
