The former National Security Adviser (NSA) in Nigeria, retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki, has released a statement, dismissing the allegations brought against him by the current government and claiming he acted in ‘national interest’.

In the statement released on Wednesday, Mr Dasuki condemned what he called a “theatrical manner, the Presidency fed the public many allegations against him and other yet to be named former public officers”.

He claimed that the Presidency’s report about some “absurd findings, including extra-budgetary interventions; award of fictitious contracts; 53 failed contracts; payment for jobs without contractual agreements; non-execution of contracts for the purchase of four Alpha jets, bombs and ammunition”, were made to draw sympathy.
