Former National Security Adviser, NSA, Sambo Dasuki, has declared that his detention for four years was ordained by God and that he holds no grudge against President Muhammadu Buhari.

Dasuki made the declaration when he spoke during an interview on Voice of America, Hausa Service.

Dasuki was released on Tuesday by the Federal Government after being held by the Department of State Service, DSS, for four years.

He made the declaration against the insinuation that his detention was informed by the role he played in the detention of Buhari after the 1985 coup in Nigeria.

Reacting to a question on the insinuation, Dasuki said he held no grudge against Buhari and that anything that happened to anyone must have been ordained by God.

His words:  “I am not aware of this. What I know is that God designed this to happen.

“Nothing more. I have no problem with anybody. I am more than that. I can’t engage in a feud with anyone.

“There is no call to be made to the government. You know everything that happened to one in life is designed by God. Ignorance and lack of understanding can make one to suffer himself…  Anything that God destined it to be, it will be. You said I spent four years in detention, it is over and today only God knows everything that will happen tomorrow.

“What is important is for everybody to be fair. Everybody who is a Muslim and who go to the mosque knows that what the Imam preaches every day is to harp on the need for people to be fair and honest. There is a reason for this and we need to listen.”
