The Department of State Services (DSS) has handed the former National Security Adviser(NSA), Sambo Dasuki, over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) for interrogation.

The former NSA was arrested early on Tuesday, December 1, 2015, over the alleged arms deal fraud.

Before his arrest, Dasuki was confined to his house by the DSS, despite two court orders allowing him to travel for medical treatment.
