A former Governor of old Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, has expressed concern over the seeming clampdown on former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki and a former Chief Security Officer (CSO) to Goodluck Jonathan, Gordon Obua, by the nation’s Directorate of State Security Services (DSS).

The DSS on Saturday said that its raid on the Abuja and Sokoto homes of Dasuki last Wednesday was to prevent treasonable felony, adding that the action yielded seven high caliber weapons and 12 exotic cars, five of which were bullet-proof.

In a similar development, ex-CSO Obua, who like Dasuki, served the former administration of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has since Thursday last week been detained by the DSS, His lawyer, in a statement on Sunday, claimed that Obua is diabetic and hypertensive. He also alleged that the former CSO was being held in a solitary detention and was being denied meals. However, other sources claimed that food was made available to him but that he opted for hunger strike.

Consequently, The Elder statesman, warned that these development may hurt the new government than currently imagined. He recalled that a similar action by the new government of the then President Olusegun Obasanjo, against the former CSO to the late General Sani Abacha, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha ended badly for the government and the nation.

Alhaji Musa said: “I think the recent clampdown on the National Security Adviser and the Chief Security Officer of the former president is unfortunate. It is also risky for any head of State to deal with an NSA or CSO casually like this.”

“You have to be very careful. Such action must be with the approval of the President. In this case, we talk of security adviser. A President may have authorized a National Security Adviser to do certain things. The President must be sure that the information he gets is based on proper knowledge.”
