\u2013 Former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd) has been charged with illegal possession of firearms .<\/p>\n

The DSS in a statement Monday by its Acting spokesman, Mr. Tony Opuiyo, said Dasuki was charged to court based on evidence relating to possession of firearms without license, an offence punishable under Section 27(i) (a) (i) of the Firearms Act Cap F28LFN 2004.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is in line with democratic practice and our avowed commitment to the rule of law, in which nobody is deemed to be above the law, no matter how highly placed in the society,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n

The DSS had, on July 16, 2015, carried out a search operation on properties in Sokoto and Abuja belonging to Dasuki.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe search led to the recovery of large cache of arms and ammunition among other things and for which further investigation was conducted\u201d, the DSS said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis action was necessitated by credible intelligence which linked him to acts capable of undermining national security. The search operation led to the recovery of large cache of arms and ammunition, among other things and for which further investigation was conducted.<\/p>\n

\u201c \u200bConsequently, on Monday 24, August, 2015, he was charged to court based on evidence so far obtained, but which relates to possession of fire arms without license punishable under section 27(i)(a)(i) of the Firearms Act Cap F28 LFN 2004,\u201d the DSS added.<\/p>\n
