ABUJA – Erstwhile National Security Adviser,
NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki, retd, has prayed the
Supreme Court to expedite hearing on two
appeals he lodged against his continued
detention by the Federal Government.
Dasuki who has been in custody of the
Department of State Service, DSS, since
December 29, 2015, is challenging FG’s refusal
to release him on bail as ordered by different
courts of competent jurisdiction.
In a letter he forwarded to the Acting Chief
Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter
Onnoghen, the former NSA, through his lead
counsel, Mr. J.B. Daudu, SAN, begged the
apex court to accelerate hearing on his bail
request in order to stop the government from
further infringing on his fundamental human
rights.
He told the Acting CJN that the two pending
appeals which he filed in August, were in
compliance with the Supreme Court practice
directions.

In the letter dated November 30 and received
by the apex court on December 6, Dasuki,
further prayed the court to exercise its
discretion in his favour by granting quick
determination of the two appeals because of
their peculiar nature.
Daudu in the letter recalled that his client was
arraigned by the Economic and Financial
Crime Commission (EFCC) on charges of
breach of trust, criminal misappropriation and
sundry offences before two high courts of the
Federal Capital Territory between September
and December last year.
He stated that following a not guilty plea by
his client, the two courts granted him bail and
the conditions perfected by the appellant.
The letter explained that no sooner had Dasuki
perfected his bail conditions than the DSS
operatives swooped on him and abducted him
at Kuje prison gate.
He said his client have since then been in
detention without trial.
Daudu told Justice Onnoghen that the only
reason FG adduced to justify “the abduction”
of his client, which was not backed by any
law, was that Dasuki posed a security risk.
The letter read in part; “The same government
having breached his right to fair trial by not
allowing him proceed on bail to have adequate
time and facilities to prepare his defence,
interfered with his constitutionally guaranteed
presumption of innocence by continuing to
detain him without trial has insisted on several
occasions to proceed with the charges afore
described, knowing fully well that the appellant
has no access to documents with which he
would wish to defend himself.

More than enough evidence against him. He should blame himself for his initial delay tactics to avoid being prosecuted.

Buhari is a Dictator

Buhari only respects the rule of law when it favours him.

No, he cannot go. Did he approach the court before sharing our resources among his gang of looters? The lives of gallant soldiers and innocent civilians that were lost as a result of Dasuki's father christmas with our treasury will not let peace to be unto to Jonathan, Dasuki, Obanikoro, Ngozi Okonjo-Iwealla, JIm Nwobodo, Bafarawa, Olisa Metuh. Alex BAdeh, Olushola Amosu and all those that shared the arms funds.

you are so dum


you dont treat injury by adding salt or using razor to cut deeper


we are tattering our image to foreign media

as much as the stupidity in Nigerians will not let them admit we need those foreign countries to survive


my point here is give room for democracy while not shying away from justice


hence KEEP WATCH ON THEM


You cant hold someone for that long without proof

if they have proof they shoul charge him to court....simple

What is really the reason why the Buhari/APC Fed. Govt. feel satisfied to keep disobeying court verdicts and keep breaking the laws with arrange disregard?
