Newly appointed Acting
Director-General of the Department of State Services, DSS, Mathew Seiyifa has promised
to look into the case of detained former National Security Adviser to President
Goodluck Jonathan, Sambo Dasuki.
Seiyifa addressing the media in
his office in Abuja on Thursday said Dasuki may get a reprieve after nearly two
years in detention.
He stated that the agency would
review all arrests and detentions after he had obtained proper briefings from
relevant stakeholders.
Although he did not state clearly
when Dasuki would be released, Seyifa assured that all cases of illegal arrests
and detentions by the agency were being reviewed to ensure that no Nigerian was
unduly detained.
Seyifa said, “I am being briefed
on the issue of Dasuki. I will be able to make a statement on it after being
properly briefed.
“In the coming days we will
review all situations, particularly as relating to DSS and other agencies
working together to promote national security.”
DSS has, in the past few days,
come under attacks by Nigerians over alleged violation of human rights.
The latest been the siege to the
National Assembly, an act which led to the sack of the former DG, Lawal Daura.
