A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to the immediate-past National
Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd), from the custody of the Department of State Security (DSS) where he has been detained for two and a half years now.
Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu ruled that his detention since December 29, 2015, amounts to a violation of his right to liberty.
Justice Ojukwu granted him bail in the sum of N200million with two sureties who must either be civil servants of Grade Level 16 at the minimum in the Federal Civil Service or private citizens, who have landed properties in the municipal areas of Abuja.
The judge said 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.
