The Minister of Interior, Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Danbazau (retd.), has stated that the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), on Monday declined an offer to visit his late father, Ibrahim Dasuki, in an Abuja hospital.

He added that said Sambo had declined another offer to be in Sokoto to mourn and bury his late father.

While addressing newsmen on Tuesday, he said: 

“We had discussed with the Director-General, DSS, yesterday (Monday) and Sambo was offered to visit his late father on his hospital bed in Abuja.

“He declined and said he preferred to pray for him. He was also offered to be in Sokoto throughout the mourning period and he also declined, preferring to pray for his late father. That was the true situation.”

But reacting to the minister’s statement, Dasuki’s counsel, Mr. Ahmed Raji (SAN), said he was not sure that the Federal Government gave his client such offers.

He said, “I am not aware of such gesture and our client did not tell us that such offer was extended to him. If such courtesy was to be accorded they should have informed the lawyers. But we were not informed. We are not aware of anything like that.”
