According to reports from the Punch,the Nigerian Presidency has faulted the claim by the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (Rtd), that he was not invited by the purchase and supply of arms during the administration of the former President Goodluck Jonathan.
A source in the Presidency who spoke on the condition of anonymity on Thursday 19 November 2015 said that the Federal Government was in possession of evidence to show that Dasuki was duly invited and added that;
"Don't forget that the DSS is on the committee probing those arms deals"
"He was invited by DSS and he refused to honour the invitation despite that his lawyer acknowledged the document"
"Instead of Dasuki to honour the invitation, he remained indoors and was whipping up sentiment"
"If he is taken to court without his statement, the case will automatically be thrown out."
The top government official added that all steps being taken by Dasuki to subvert the system and escape justice were known to security agencies and the government. That at the appropriate time, Nigerians would know more about the allegations against the ex-NSA.
