It Is My Fate, Nothing More – Dasuki After Four Year Incarceration
Despite his detention for over four years, former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), has said that he holds no grudges against President Muhammadu Buhari.
He vowed he would defend himself against the allegations of money laundering and corruption levelled against him by the Federal Government.
Dasuki spoke in a radio interview with the Voice of America Hausa Service after he was released by the Department of State Services.
The ex-NSA was released on Tuesday following a directive by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, after spending over four years in detention.
He was arrested in 2015 over alleged abuse of office and money laundering but was not released despite several court orders granting him bail.
Dasuki said he was not aware Buhari detained him over his role in the 1985 coup that upstaged the then Head of States, hinting that his incarceration was designed by God.
He said he had no comments to pass to the government regarding his ordeal in custody.
Dasuki said: “What I know is that God designed this to happen. Nothing more. I have no problem with anybody. I can’t engage in a feud with anyone.
“You know everything that happened to one in life is designed by God. Ignorance and lack of understanding can make one to suffer himself.
“Anything that God destined to be, it will be. Only God knows everything that will happen tomorrow.
“What is important is for everybody to be fair. Everybody who is a Muslim and who goes to the mosque knows that what the Imam preaches every day is to harp on the need for people to be fair and honest. There is a reason for this and we need to listen.”
He vowed he would defend himself in court against the allegations of money laundering
“I resolved that anytime they released me, I will appear before the court and defend myself, I am ready,” he said.
