Federal High Court has granted bail to Sambo Dasuki, former national security adviser (NSA).

Operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) arrested Dasuki and has been in detention despite the bail he got on five different occasions before this.

Ijeoma Ojukwu, the Judge described Dasuki’s continuous detention as an aberration to the rule of law, and granted him a N200 million and two sureties in like sum.

According to the judge, the sureties must not be lower than grade 16 in the civil service and where they are private citizens, they must be owners of landed properties in Abuja.

However, she rejected Dasuki’s prayer for N5 billion damages but held that the federal government’s contention that Dasuki was being kept in custody on the grounds of his alleged threat to national security and his alleged ongoing investigation for money laundering did not warrant “abrogating” his right.

Also, the judge stated that should there be any further reason to interrogate him, DSS could only invite and interview him between the hours of 9am and 6pm on working days.
