. LAGOS, Nigeria — Nigeria ’ s government will
not release two prominent detainees despite
several court orders for their release , and will
not comment on the situation of a third,
wounded detainee , President Muhammadu
Buhari said Wednesday .
Buhari, a former military dictator who calls
himself a born - again democrat , did not discuss
the propriety of defying court orders when he
spoke on national TV .
“ If you see the atrocities these people committed
against this country !” Buhari said in
justification . “ We can ’ t allow them to jump
bail. ”
A Federal High Court set no bail conditions and
ordered the unconditional release of Biafra
separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu on Dec. 17 . Kanu
was detained Oct . 17 on charges recently
escalated to terrorism and financing terrorism .
His cause led to a civil war that killed 1 million
people in the 1960 s .
Former national security adviser Sambo Dasuki
was detained Nov. 4 after intelligence agents
surrounded his home for days to prevent him
from leaving the country after a court allowed
him bail to seek medical care abroad .
Dasuki is accused , among other things , of
diverting $ 2 . 2 billion meant to buy arms to fight
the Boko Haram Islamic uprising . Three courts
have ordered his release on bail.
“ What of the over two million people displaced,
most of them orphans whose fathers have been
killed?” Buhari asked . “ We cannot allow that. ”
He refused to discuss the situation of Shiite
leader Ibraheem Zakzaky , who was detained
with four bullet wounds Dec . 14 in military
raids that allegedly killed hundreds of his
followers.
The army said the raids and bulldozing of
Zakzaky ’ s home and Shiite spiritual centers was
a response to an alleged Shiite attempt to
assassinate Nigeria ’ s army chief. Human Rights
Watch has said the raid was unprovoked.
Authorities have refused to allow anyone to see
Zakzaky .
Buhari said he would not comment until an
investigation is complete .
