Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described attempt by the Federal Government to secretly to try the
leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB)
Nnamdi Kanu, by using mask-wearing prosecution
witnesses as mockery of democracy, saying Nigerians
must force President Mohammadu Buhari to purge
himself of the blood and water of dictatorship flowing
in his veins.

In a release issued on Saturday by his Special Assistant
on Public Communications and New Media, Lere
Olayinka, Governor Fayose said “it is shameful that the
Federal Government could approach the court for
witnesses in a criminal matter it is prosecuting to wear
mask and be seen through screen.”

He said even the prosecuting counsel, who filed the
application should be ashamed of themselves for
making themselves available to be used as tools to
subvert democracy.

“They want Kanu tried secretly. They also want the
former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col Sambo
Dasuki (rtd) tried secretly. What are they afraid of? .

How can the Federal Government ask the court to allow
‘ojuju calabar’ (masquerade) as prosecution witnesses
when we are not under military rule?

“How would such witnesses be cross-examined by
defence lawyers and can their real identity be
ascertained?

“Should anyone make allegations that he cannot be bold
enough to defend in the law court? Why are the
witnesses afraid to testify in an open court if truly they
are witnesses of truth?

“Clearly, this is mockery of democracy and the rule of
law and Nigerians should know that it is their duty to
purge President Buhari of dictatorship,” Governor
Fayose said.

While hailing the judiciary for once again rising in the
defence of democracy by saying no to the anti-
democratic plot of using masquerade as witnesses,
Governor Fayose said; “As it is now, only the judiciary
can save Nigeria from the full-blown dictatorship that
this Buhari-led APC government has become.

“Interestingly, they are not even sparing the bench from
their regime of blackmail and dictatorship, and it has
become necessary for our men of the bench to continue
to stand firm against enemies of democracy and rule of
law.”

Because they don't have any case against them. Buhari's govt is govt with no vission but with mission to silence opposition.
Metu was arrested for embezzling N400m but when he was charged to court, the N400m issue why he was arrested was not included in the charges against him. Now I ask what does this govt mean in the so called fight against corruption.

Like seriously

Nigerians must force President Mohammadu Buhari to purge himself of the blood and water of dictatorship flowing in his veins.

A man who has so many atrocities hanging on his neck, is even scared of his own shadows.2011 post election violence,he is the brain behind it through his inciting statement.So many life and properties were lost.No body arrested bubu,Bubu opening campaign for islamisation of some part of the country through sharia in a secular country like Nigeria.No body asked for his head.Buhari saw the killing of boko haram sect members as the killing of northern youths.No body imprisoned bubu.
Today Buhari is out for a vendetta.He wants to nail his enemies without strong evidence.Since his agent Efcc and Dss has not succeeded in blackmailing any body to start in for witness.They resulted in hiring masquerades for witness.God course the day devil was sent from heaven to torment Nigerians.

Whatever happen to dasuki and kanu is non of my business. All i want is job opportunity and $1=#50

true my brother

Mario1989:

No evidence to back their claims, also Buhari knows that the court may ask for Dasuki's release. If this is the judgement, PMB will not be willing to obey it, hence the need for secrecy.

buhaaaaarrrrry

Democracy is dying in pains. Dictatorship is taking its place

Hmmmm. Dictatorship is taking its place in Nigeria and democratic is dying

Them say the case dey sensitive to publicity so they want secrecy when masses no go dey aware of the happenings for we government
