The Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday formally served a warrant of release of former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd), on the Director General of Department of State Security Services (DSS) and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
The warrant of release, it was gathered, was served by a court bailiff on the headquarters of the DSS and the Office of Minister of Justice in Abuja.
The bailiff was in the company of Dasuki’s sureties.
It was, however, gathered that the DSS might not release Dasuki until there is a clearance from the Presidency.
Dated July 16, 2018, and signed by Mba Nkem A. Omotosho, Deputy Chief Registrar, the warrant is titled: “Verification of Bail Conditions.”
The warrant reads in part: “Pursuant to the judgement order made on Monday the 2nd day of July 2018 granted by his lordship, Hon Justice Ijeoma L. Ojukwu, directing various conditions to be fulfilled prior to the Release on Bail of the Applicant (Col. Sambo Dasuki Rtd).
“I have scrupulously verified the entire conditions of bail as ordered by his lordship and the three ambits are fulfilled.
“Hence, the respondents, the Director-General, State Security Services, and Attorney General of the Federation are hereby notified as directed by his lordship for the subsequent compliance of same.
“Attached herewith is the enrolled Order of the Court and all the necessary bail documents for your perusal and aggrandizement.”
