Sacked former Director General of the Department of State Security, DSS, Lawan Daura, is currently under arrest and being interrogated by officers at the Headquarters of the Special Anti-Armed Robbery Squad, SARS in Abuja, a senior Police officer told Pointblanknews.com
The officer who would not want to be named said Daura is currently facing charges for breaching National Security, a treasonable offence which might carry a death penalty.
Sources told Pointblanknews.com that Daura, with the connivance of top members of the Buhari Cabal and leaders of the All Progressive Congress, APC, had masterminded the plot to invade the National Assembly with officer from the DSS in an attempt to impeach Senator Bukola Saraki as Senate President.
The invasion of the National Assembly by armed wielding Government forces sparked wild condemnation locally and internationally.
Sources told pointblanknews.com that President Mohammadu Buhari who is currently in London for a 10day holiday got calls from top leaders around the world and was highly embarrassed at the turn of event.
According to the sources, those calls were reason the President directed the Acting President to have Daura removed.
The arrest and detention of the former DG DSS is a face saving mission aimed at portraying the Government of Buhari as a listening and law abiding.
It remains to be seen if Daura would be prosecuted.
