Lawyers Protest Continued Detention Of Dasuki, Kanu, Others

Constitutional lawyers and human rights activists from various parts of the country yesterday staged a protest in Abuja against the continued detention of former National Security Adviser, NSA, Mohammed Sambo Dasuki, retd, and others, in spite of bails granted them by the court.

They flayed the executive arm of government for attempting to derail the rule of law and democracy with utter disregard to valid and lawful court decision. The protesters made copious reference to the ECOWAS Court of Justice which ordered the release of Dasuki. The lawyers also accused the executive arm of mistaking persecution for prosecution, insisting that any government or agency not obeying valid court order could not claim to be prosecuting offenders but persecuting them. 

Dasuki Urges Nigerians To Tell FG To Release Him On Bail

Former National Security Adviser (NSA) Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd) has protested his detention for alleged $15billion arms deals facilitated by the Office of National Security Adviser (ONSA). He says the Federal Government should allow his trial begin. Dasuki is said to have told his associates that he is not disposed to a secret trial. He insists that based on service rules in a security system, he only obeyed the directive of the President and Commander-in-Chief, former President Goodluck Jonathan. The ex-NSA, told his associates: “I am ready for trial because they have destroyed my family’s name and my professional integrity, especially how we successfully fought Boko Haram and recovered major towns and cities, not villages. They should let my trial start in earnest to enable Nigerians know the truth from falsehood. There is a plan to try Dasuki’s case in secret to protect some of the witnesses. But Dasuki disagreed.
