Update: SSS Proceeds To Dasuki's Close Confidant' Home

Some operatives of the State Security Services (SSS), moved to the home of a close confidant of the former NSA, Bello Fadipe, after ending the siege at the residence of the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd).

Fadipe also a retired colonel, was in the former NSA's home when the SSS officials stormed the residence.
They were placed under house arrest by the operatives on Thursday and released yesterday.
A security source informed Premium Times that after the arrest order on Dasuki was lifted, the operatives drove Fadile in one of their vehicles, after which they proceeded to his home to search.
Fadile was the director in charge of special duties when Dasuki was the NSA boss. Another source said, “after searching the house, they took away a computer hard drive from Fadile’s personal computer which they promised to return as soon as they were through with it”.

It is not clear what the SSS is looking for in Fadile’s home or what he is being investigated for.
Meanwhile, Dasuki has reacted to his ordeal in the hands of the SSS operatives, describing their conduct as a mere witch-hunt.
Also, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the action of the SSS as a violation of the rights of the former NSA and contrary to the constitution of the country and the tenets of democracy
In a similar vein, Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose, has described Dasuki’s arrest as a sign of dictatorship.
