The federal high court in Abuja, has ordered the Department of State Services (DSS) to immediately obey its ruling granting former national security adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, leave to travel abroad for medical treatment.
Delivering the judgement, Justice Adeniyi Ademola, asked MS Labaran, counsel to the DSS, to tell his client to immediately comply with the November 3 order of the court.
Ademola said: “Court order must be obeyed,” just as he asked, “What is wrong in the defendant travelling and coming back to face trial? Only a fit person can stand for trial and investigation." He further stated that his own orders will not be flouted.”
The judge also said he would send his staff to go to Dasuki’s residence to see for itself the “siege” on Dasuki’s residence as alleged by Joseph Daodu, the accused person’s counsel.
