Dasuki Writes Acting CJN, Seeks Speedy Hearing Of His Bail Appeal by TheAsegun(m): 6:41pm On Dec 08, 2016 |
By Ikechukwu Nnochiri 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. source: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/12/dasuki-writes-acting-cjn-seeks-speedy-hearing-bail-appeal/

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

mykeljosef: 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. |
