The National
Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki, yesterday denied media reports that the
NSA, after consulting with the President, ordered the arrest of the Speaker of
the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal.
A statement yesterday by the director of special duties in the office of the NSA, Colonel Bello Fadile (rtd), said there was no iota of truth in the story about a plan to arrest the Speaker.
According to Fadile: “We want to use this medium to categorically state that there is no iota of truth in the allegation being peddled by mischief makers, who are hell bent to tarnish the image of the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) and the Presidency.”
He also assured that, while the laws must be allowed to take its natural cause, the NSA would not abdicate its foremost responsibility of advising the President on how to effectively maintain and sustain peace, “as well as our territorial integrity.
“The ONSA will also want to advise the general public to be very vigilant and not be hoodwinked by propaganda of desperate politicians who are willing to sacrifice the security, unity, peace and stability of the country on the altar of selfish political gains.”
Fadile warned that the NSA will not tolerate inflammatory and unguarded utterances that are capable of jeopardizing the peaceful conduct of the 2015 general elections.
