It has been learnt that three suspects in the multi-billion naira arms deals currently under investigation have sneaked out of the country to escape arrest.
The suspects include a high profile Nigerian and two Israelis.
According to a reliable source, Government's seeming hard stance on Dasuki may be a direct consequence of the escape of the three suspects who are alleged to be his close allies.
“The government may appear to have been hard on Dasuki because three suspects implicated in the arms deal have sneaked out of the country. The suspects, including a top Nigerian and two Israelis, were rated as closer to Dasuki.
“Wherever they are, we will repatriate them accordingly. With the cooperation of some countries, there is no hiding place for any suspect.
“This is one of the reasons why the Federal Government does not want Dasuki to travel out for medical treatment.
“The Department of State Security Service (DSS) was proactive in placing one of the suspects on surveillance but the recourse to court made the affected culprit to leave the country.
“Another factor is that the cases against the ex-NSA are many and the government cannot say because of an isolated matter, he should be allowed to go abroad. What if he does not return to the country?” he said.
