Dasuki in one of his appearances in court
The source who pleaded anonymity, stated further that a summons served on Dasuki was duly acknowledged by his lawyer.
After President Muhammadu Buhari’s orders to effect his arrest on Tuesday, Dasuki had, in a statement on Wednesday, denied ever being invited by the John Odeh-led panel to verify the findings of the committee before he was indicted, describing the panel’s submission as baseless and lacking in diligence.
“Don’t forget that the DSS is on that committee probing those arms deals.
“He was invited by the DSS and he refused to honour the invitation despite that his lawyer acknowledged the document.
“Instead for Dasuki to honour the invitation, he remained indoors and was whipping up sentiment.
“If he is taken to any court without his statement, the case will automatically be thrown out,” the presidency source informed.
Meanwhile, Dasuki has finally been allowed to travel out of the country to take care of his ailing health, but the presiding judge, Justice Ademola averred that the surety standing in his stead should be ready to take the position of the accused in case Dasuki refuses to appear in court.
