The Federal Government has said former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki has refused to explain why he made $1.2billion transaction in one day.

Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed said this at his hometown on Sunday.

He said releasing Dasuki without extracting information from him poses a threat to national security.

He said Dasuki would remain in custody for security reasons.

‘‘At every point in time, a government will make a hard decision between your personal liberty and national security. Now in the wake of 9/11, the United States (U.S.) came with regulation that breached the personal rights of Americans and all of us because of national security.

‘‘In the case of El- Zakzaky and Dasuki, we are also talking about national security.”

The minister said the former national security adviser had refused to account for ‘‘$1.2 billion dollars transactions he made in one day.”

‘‘This is an individual who made $1.2 billion transactions in one day and up till today, he has refused to tell government where the money went to and who he has given the money and people are saying we should release him,” the minister said.

Why not take him to court to explain?
Fools

how long will this govt play with the psyche of Nigerians? didnt this govt list what he did with the money Dauski himself has stated his side of the story so an open trial will reveal the facts and fictions

This guys are delusional. I thought police always say you have the right to remain silent cuz anything you say will be used against you in court.

Charge him to court you fools. There he will tell you what he did with the money.

Give him a chance to defend himself in court

Since how many years now??

What happened to investigation. Isn't it their job to find out what the money was used for or are they relying on oral testimony to nail him? Yeye de smell

Does this government have any respect for Nigerians, some of us have traveled far and wide and a bit well read, comparing American lawfully backed pronouncements to the vindictive caprices of a criminal organization in power like APC is bewildering , take him to court and throw the book at him if he is guilty, there must be legal ways to tackle such matters
