I have followed the case of kasu lecturer Dr.Danfulanis case very religiously and reasons abound why our general freedom of speech and association is threatened. why More distractions are provided daily by the present administration from core issues of hardship,lack of security and hunger in the land,it's Good if all Nigerians of Good conscience raise their voice against the rising spate of technical knock out to our freedom of speech.the following reasons abound why Dr. Danfulani ought to have be granted bail while the scripted investigation continues.

1. Bail is a Basic Right of Every Citizen of Nigeria.Bail is a basic right of every citizen of Nigeria who is charged with a criminal offence by virtue of section 35(1) of 1999 Constitution and Criminal Procedure Act. Thus, every person is entitled to his personal liberty and no person is to be deprived of his liberty except as stipulated by the Constitution and or statute Bail to a person accused of an offence other than a capital offence is a basic right and undoublty the right to release before trial is much more basic if the trial is going to last more than two months for non-capital offences.(in this case its a criminal case)

2.Bail Pending Trial

The object of bail pending trial is to grant pre-trial freedom to an accused whose appearance in court can be compelled by a financial sanction in the form of money bail. The freedom is temporary in the sense that it lasts only for the period of the trial. It stops on conviction of the accused. It also stops on acquittal of the accused.(If Dr.Danfulani travails were not having political and religious undertone;only one thing would have been right granting him bail.

3.It is to be realized that an accused person who jumps bail does so at his own peril. Hence the risk or strong likelihood that an accused person may likely jump bail should not be used as a sole bulwark for denial of bail or basis for imposing suffocating bail conditions against such an accused person(Olisah metuhs case comes to mind), until the occurrence of such an untoward development. Thus, if an offence is readily bailable, it is both legal and logical that the conditions for bail attached thereto, must be such as will engender positive utilization of the grant of the said bail to the fullest extent whenever it is granted

4. An accused is presumed innocent until proved guilty in court. This presumption of innocence of an accused person as a constitutionally entrenched provision implies that, no matter how seemingly serious,(Dr Danfulanis case is a criminal case as he was so charged by the Seemingly tyrannical government under Nasir ell-rufai) grave, heinous or unconscionable an alleged offence or offences committed by an accused person might look, he is still entitled to that presumption as an article of faith and a matter of right guarantee by the Constitution.

5.Bail should not be Withheld as Punishment. It has been well established that bail is not to be withheld merely as punishment, and furthermore that the requirements as to bail are primarily to secure the attendance of the accused persons at the trial. (It is very obvious that the refusal of to grant bail by Chief Magistrate Awwal Musa appears more like a punishment.
While I Conclude,its good to let us know that the Judge In charge of this case left the court premises at about 1pm and went to pray in the mosque,only to return by 7pm to give questionable Rulings.
While the political and religious intimidation which is written all over this case can't be denied,its only pertinent to remind our selves what the "DOG AND BABOON" Analogy represents.
