Why even requesting for bail...
A common man will rot in jail for commiting a crime less than what this man did...
Come to think of it,is there equality in delivering judgement in this country? Or are some people above the law...

Goodyshoes:
We have a dictatorship here in Nigeria....
A leopard does not change its spots. However long it might take.....
Meanwhile, Happy new year....

Chibuzoc:
Lawless con3 what a shame. Above the law part1

BishopMagic:


The same human rights that were accusing your army of killing bokos

I guess traffic blockades warrant a massacre.

I guess the thieves in Buhari's govt are saints and not koworpt like Abacha

I guess shooting of protesters is part of your human rights.

You apc zombies are trading your freedom and that of your children without knowing it.

vecman22:

If you have a case anybody in apc pls head to d court...and stop showing yur ignorance here..

teadrake:
PMB should transfer DASUKI to IDPs for him to witness the devastating effect of his action.Am sure they will lynch him to death.Any legal idiot that calls for the Release of DASUKI should also pay a courtesy visit to the IDPs to feed their pathetic eyes

madridguy:
Since our judiciary system is as corrupt as NPF, I think PMB his in better position to take over till there is a better reform in our legal sector. Era of looting Billion and buy the legal system with just 3 Million is over, Lucky Igbinedion case is a clear example. Make both Dasuki and Kanu enjoy small for inside Inbox.

MRSALT:


How are sure of what you are saying? If you have evidence, present them before the judges and argue your case. That is why we have lawyers and courts. If you do not want court processes, why then do we still foot their bills? Close down all courts and start jungle justice. One day you will become a victim of false accusation then you will know the importance of separation of powers.

is buhari becoming a dictator?

•President’s no-release stand splits lawyers

By Chris Iwarah

Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki, yesterday pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari to allow him enjoy the bail granted him by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Meanwhile, lawyers yesterday took divergent positions on Buhari’s explanation of the continued detention of former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki and pro-Biafra agitator, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu despite different court orders admitting them to bail.

Buhari said during his first presidential media chat on Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) on Wednesday that Dasuki and Kanu could not be released because they would jump bail, describing the charges against them as serious.

Speaking with Daily Sun on the development yesterday, counsel to Dasuki, Alhaji Ahmed Raji (SAN), said: “I would want to appeal to Mr. President to please allow my client to enjoy the bail that was granted to him. I want to beg him in the name of God. I cannot join words with the president. I have the greatest respect for him, both in his official and personal capacities. My appeal is just that I am begging him in the name of God to allow my client to enjoy his bail.”

But former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Prince Lanke Odogiyan said Buhari’s stand was a manifestation of dictatorship.
The president’s refusal to release Dasuki and Kanu, he warned, was a slide into lawlessness.He urged the NBA, human rights organisations and other non-governmental groups to call the president to order to prevent the nation from sliding into anarchy.

His words: “It’s disobedience of court order and if it’s not checked, it can lead to consequences beyond our imaginations. It’s a manifestation of dictatorial tendencies and it should not be encouraged. The president must be advised by his legal handlers. If he is not satisfied with an order of court, the appropriate thing to do is to appeal. But he can’t disobey it, he can’t ignore it.

“The Nigerian Bar Association, NGOs and human rights bodies will speak with one voice to call Mr. President to order. We have to be careful so that we don’t slide into anarchy. No government should pick and choose what orders to obey.”

Chief Ladi Rotimi-Williams (SAN), however, said the president was acting in the overall interest of the nation.
“The president is at a vantage point to know what is good for the nation at any given time. Sambo Dasuki is a very powerful man and you don’t take such powerful men lightly.

“I am sure he (Buhari) has placed the interest of the nation over and above the interest of Sambo Dasuki, ditto for Kanu. He is not doing so because he doesn’t like their faces.”
The interest of the nation overrides everything else.”

President of the African Bar Association, Mr. Hannibal Uwaifo also insisted that Buhari was on the right path.
He said it was sentimental to claim that Buhari was the one responsible for the continued detention of Dasuki and Kanu. The detainees, he said, were contending with the consequences of infringing the nation’s laws.

Former Chairman of the Ikeja branch of NBA, Mr. Monday Ubani, however, said Buhari’s comments might have been misunderstood.
He said: “Whatever the president has said, he can’t play the roles of the legislature, executive, and the judiciary. The judiciary will certainly handle the cases that are before it. The president can only execute what the judiciary has said. So, I don’t want whatever the president has said to be taken out of proportion.

What I understand the president to be saying actually, which he may not have put in a way that every person would understand, is that we can’t allow a system where prominent people alleged to have committed heinous crimes are given all manner of luxuries after they have put a lot of people in problem and they can’t stay here and answer the charges; they now want to go abroad for treatment while this same thing is not extended to the poor.”

So in your measured opinion, DASUKI is innocent even after he admitted to all the wrongdoing?are you in this country at all?You're talking about due process,where was due process when the fund meant for protection of citizens was diverted to their own personal purse?All the lives lost so far is on dasukis head.My brother, this is new year,I wish you prosperity in all ramifications, but please let them continue to dwell in that small hole for now

Lordave:
The same judiciary that sworn him in as the president even without required certificate?

He should also reverse his case.

Speaking with Daily Sun on the development yesterday, counsel to Dasuki, Alhaji Ahmed Raji (SAN), said: “I would want to appeal to Mr. President to please allow my client to enjoy the bail that was granted to him.
