Ex-NSA Dasuki in surprise appearance at young SAN's reception ceremony


A former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, who rarely attends public events made a surprise appearance at a reception honoring a young newly inducted Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Yunus Abdulsalam.

Despite his typically reserved nature at public functions, Mr Dasuki, a retired colonel, was suddenly appointed as the chairperson of the occasion. His unexpected assignment left many in attendance both surprised and delighted.

In his brief remarks before departing the venue, Mr Dasuki humorously noted the irony of being “ambushed” into the role.

“I thought ambushes were a common occurrence only in military contexts,” he said. “I never expected to be ambushed by lawyers at an event celebrating a distinguished legal practitioner like Barrister Yunus Abdulsalam.”

He went on to praise Mr Abdulsalam for his dedication to justice, saying, “Barrister Yunus has proven to be a prolific lawyer, passionately advocating against injustice and championing the rights of citizens through his impactful litigation.”

Although he admitted to his discomfort with public speaking, Mr Dasuki graciously accepted the honorary role bestowed upon him. “While I don’t typically enjoy speaking in public forums, I must embrace this unexpected honour. Congratulations to the celebrants, and I wish you all a joyful ceremony.”

Born on June 30, 1988, Mr Abdulsalam’s induction as one of the youngest SANs in 2024 marks a significant milestone in his illustrious career.
