The Director of Special Duties in the Office of the National Security Adviser, retired Colonel Bello Fadile,has described the reports and rumours flying around that the National Security Adviser to the President Sambo Dasuki, have ordered they arrest of the Speaker of the House of Representative Aminu Tambuwal as untrue and total falsehood.

Colonel Fadile said: “It is not only untrue and mere fabricated reports that the NSA met with the VP and ordered the arrest of Hon Tambuwal. The fact is that the National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki has been outside the country since Wednesday on pressing national security issues.
“To the best of our knowledge there is no any order for the arrest of Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of the House of Representatives.

"We therefore urge the media to always cross-check their stories before going to the press.”
