The wife of the former National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki staged a short drama when she went to the headquarters of the Department of State Security Service (DSS) on Tuesday night and begged top officials of the agency not to allow her husband die in custody.
As the wife and relation were trying to secure the last peg of his bail conditions, a surety with about N250million property.But immediately Dasuki was released at the prison, he was re-arrested by the DSS.
After several hours of trying to locate her husband, she returned to the DSS office and demanded for him or in the alternative, she should be locked up with him.
She reportedly said:

We don’t know what is happening because three courts have granted him bail. Why are they after him? Let those concerned respect the court by releasing my husband.[/quote_box_left]
[quote_box_right]“Nigerians should help me beg the Federal Government, the DSS and other agencies to release my husband who did his best to serve this nation. He is ill, he needs medical attention, he is not pretending. I implore the DSS not to allow him to die in custody.[/quote_box_right]
[quote_center]“There is no way my husband will run away from the country under any guise. They should please follow the rule of law and uphold his right to bail.”[/quote_center]
A source said Dasuki’s wife was allowed to see her husband.
A judge of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Justice Peter Affen last Wednesday banned the EFCC from re-arresting Dasuki, ex-Minister Bashir Yuguda, former Director of Finance at the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) Shuaibu Salisu, Sagir Attahiru and former Governor Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa.
“We have followed the rule of law , the ex-NSA is in safe custody. He was once in DSS custody and he was never maltreated and he had access to medicare,”
The order of the court followed the granting of the application for bail by counsel to the defendants, including Peter Akper (SAN); Ahmed Raji (SAN); Dr. J. O. Olatoke (SAN); H.O. Afolabi (SAN) and A.U Mustapha.
