Dasuki
Hearing in the legal action instituted against the Federal Government by the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd), will begin on Friday before a Federal High Court in Abuja.
The suit by Dasuki, who has been placed under house arrest in the last one week by operatives of the Department of the State Service (DSS), is seeking enforcement of his fundamental human rights to dignity and security of his life.
Though the case was filed on Monday, hearing notice indicating that the matter would be heard on Friday has been issued to parties in the matter by the court.
Dasuki is asking the court for a mandatory order compelling the Federal Government and its agents, especially DSS operatives, to vacate his house located at 13, John Kadija Street, Asokoro, with immediate effect.
In the suit filed by his counsel, Ahmed Raji (SAN), Dasuki pleaded with the court to stop the siege laid on his house and to remove all impediments, human and non-human barricade, said to have hindered the permission granted him since November 3 to travel abroad for medical attention.
In a motion on notice filed pursuant to sections 36(5) 37 and 41 of the 1999 Constitution and sections 1(1) and (2) and 266 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015, the former NSA also sought for order of the court extending order of November 3 permitting treatment of his ailment abroad.
The motion on notice was premised on five grounds including the request to enforce the three-week permission granted him by the court on November 3 to keep a re-rescheduled medical appointment with his physician abroad.
He claimed that the Federal Government, acting through the operatives of the DSS and other security agencies, had frustrated the said order by barricading his apartment since the permission was granted.
The former NSA also requested the court to extend the order of Number 3 since it could not be implemented due to the action of the security agents.
Dasuki further asked the court to dispose with his appearance in court for the purpose of this application because of the alleged constant threats to his life from the security agencies
