Human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to order the release of the
immediate past National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), who has been held in custody without any backing of
court order, so as to allow the ex-NSA’s trial for alleged diversion of arms fund to go on smoothly.
He said in a statement on Sunday that this had become necessary in view of the ban by the United States of America on sale
of arms to Nigeria over alleged continued violation of human rights under the Buhari Administration.
Falana said though, the basis for ban on sale of arms by the US could be queried, the President should stop the violation of
people’s rights and also release all political detainees.
He said government should honour the order of ECOWAS Court ordering the release of the former NSA.
But the Senior Advocate of Nigeria explained that the order made by ECOWAS Court should however not be viewed as
exonerating Dasuki of charges preferred against him.
Falana said, “With respect to the substantive relief, the ECOWAS Court held that the detention of Col. Dasuki without a court
order could not be justified under the Nigerian Constitution and the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights.
“Consequently, the court ordered the release of the applicant and payment of N15m damages to him as reparation for the
infringement of his human rights.
“In reporting the judgment of the ECOWAS Court the media conveyed the impression that that the federal government has
been ordered to release the plaintiff unconditionally from further detention.
“Contrary to such misleading impression the ECOWAS Court has not discharged and acquitted Col. Dasuki in respect of the
criminal charges pending against him in the Nigerian courts. All that the court said was that the suspect be allowed to enjoy
his human right to liberty within the context of the bail granted him by the trial courts.
“In particular, the Federal Government was berated for treating the orders of its own courts with contempt.”

Stop pretending, you will soon adopt him for this. At least your friends will. Its a natural habit, embedded in the DNA. To even think you have to create a moniker with a Yoruba na, Shows your obsession and lieing spirit.


I gave up on you guys when i read comments on the thread where it was insinuated that North and SE are aligning against SW.

Just read for your entertainment in case u missed the clowns



Note SS was left out of that report. Tmr you people will come and attach again by force. Y'all are super clowns who don't even know what they want.

so the reason US frustrated the sale of arms to Nigeria was because of human right abuse.. seems the victory of trump is now making obama to act right. Buhari should expect more frustrations when trump takes over officially.. I doubt if trump will even meet him with all the human rights abuses he has perpetuated in office. Now we can say there is a new sheriff.

Lol.

This NL din dey tire me.

See this clown, arms sales have been blocked since when?

The way u guys are masturbating about this Trump guy. I realy hope u enjoy your cum shots.

The funny thing is most of you were screaming Buhari is too old before the elections, but 70 years old Trump seems to he you clowns Messiah now

In respective of how will look at it, keeping Dasuki and Kanu for so long without granting them bail or speeding up their trial is morally and legally wrong. Let us put politics apart be sincere with ourselves. History will not be kind to people like professor Itse Sagay who refused to speak up against this tyranny of justice The world is beginning to doubt if PMB is truly a repentant democrat..

I don't know why Falz daddy won't just Negodu...........

Falana-have you had enough now? Thought you want to continue to asslick?Guess he has seen what befell Tinubu & feels it's now time for him to reason objectively? This man along side Sagay & Keyamo were a big disgrace to social justice.

Epic answer.

Abeg make dis falz the bad guy papa shut up and allow pmb to recover our yams from all these ebeles boys and girls!

Falana is right but the presidency has already passed a guilty verdict on Dasuki and he is serving the jail term the executive 'sentenced' him to. His statement will cut no ice with the President.

A tyrant is a tyrant, nothing can change a born tyrant.

Unfortunately, some unrecognized elements are hailing the tyrannical act. What a shame on common sense.
