Colonel Abubakar Dangiwa Umar, (rtd), former Military Governor of Kaduna State, has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to order the release of ex-National Security Adviser (NSA) without further delay.

This is contained in a statement he signed and issued on Sunday, titled “Respect law courts’ decisions and release M.S. Dasuki on bail please”.


Umar said it was over one year since three law courts, including ECOWAS Court granted bail to Dasuki but that the Federal Government had refused to release him, citing the untenable excuse of the grievous nature of his offence.

He noted that: “Our extant constitution is quite clear on this issue. The Federal Government does not have the power to determine which offence is bailable or whether an accused person is deserving of bail.

“It should therefore obey courts’ decisions and release Col. Dasuki without any further delay. His unlawful detention, campaign of calumny and pretrial publicity make it impossible for him to receive a fair trial.


“The only explanation one can find for Col. Dasuki’s lengthy detention without trial is that he belongs to the wrong camp. He has also the misfortune of having served as National Security Adviser to the much vilified Nigerian President of Ijaw extraction.

“Colonel Dasuki’s fate is tied to that of his former principal President Goodluck Jonathan; an honourable and patriotic Nigerian who conceded defeat and congratulated the winner of the 2015 Presidential election Gen Muhammadu Buhari even before INEC declared the final results, when he could have held on tenaciously to power as is the norm in many Third World Countries.

“This rare act of statesmanship which pulled the country back from the precipice has been rewarded with utmost disrespect and derision by the APC Federal Government.


“President Jonathan is the most maligned Nigerian former Head of State. Col. Dasuki is paying dearly for his loyal service to this patriot. All well-meaning Nigerians must speak out against his unfair and unlawful treatment.

“We cannot afford to remain neutral in the face of this monumental injustice. When one Nigerian is unlawfully detained all of us must have the moral consciousness to feel psychologically incarcerated”.

Umar however commended the Federal Government for suspending the SGF Mr David Babachir Lawal and the DG NIA Mr Ayodele Oke while they are being investigated.

“It is also remarkable and commendable that the Government has decided not to detain the duo while they are being investigated.

“This is a welcome departure from the prevailing anti-democratic process by which accused persons, particularly from the opposition camp, are unlawfully detained pending the commencement of investigations, or refused bail granted by law courts.

“There is national unanimity in support of the war against corruption which is expected to be non-discriminatory and waged by a meticulous adherence to the rule of law.

“For the war to be meaningful and sustainable, it must be elevated beyond a President Buhari personal struggle to a national one.

“Most fair-minded Nigerians are no more impressed and are indeed sceptical with the conduct of this government’s anti-corruption war which appears to be aimed at the neutralization and destruction of the of the opposition”.

Nonsense. Hypocrites as usual, and who is to fight for the boko haram victims.

Believe it or not, buhari wants to release Dasuki for no other reason than being a fellow fulani, but he is worried that he may have to release Kanu too when he is bombarded with ethnic and religious grenades as a result.

How do you also explain the Nigerian Airforce bombing innocent people at the IDP camps?

Till today, nothing has been heard of the outcome neither was anyone prosecuted. But I know you will conveniently turn a blind eye to that. Continue. Just continue.

Dasuki only paying for his role in 1985.
Any way, we are back to the dark ages.

The Nigerian Air Force recently bombed an Idp camp... Who has been held responsible.. Who is fighting for the victims Buhari killed

The ever wailing ingrates are already making case for one of their numerous "heros".

As usual, their characteristic reason is just that he was involved in the worst looting ever known to mankind under their god, the IB.

They defend Dasuki even more than his children enjoying somewhere most likely outside the country.

Bubu, the day you release any of these thieves is the day you start loosing it.

Thieves.

If the law court of ecowas and others have ordered the release of Dasuki and others, buhari should obey the court order. The op was right on track.

His only crime is theft just the same as DG NIA , if the DG NIA is still walking free whys is Dasuki being held illegally still ....Abeg where did Dasuki participate in any form of terrorism?

Long and short is

Dasuki is a terrorist that will languish in jail

If Dasuki is a terrorist, what will you call Buhari? Osama Bin Laden?

Be objective for once. Buhari is not holding Dasuki in custody against the law of the land because of any embezzlement but because of personal vendetta against him. What is not clear to him is that a king that will "know Joseph" will soon be enthroned in Aso Rock (You can write that down, quoting the time), and this man will still be released and mock him by paying condolences to his (Buhari's) family. Remember Abacha kept OBJ in custody but OBJ outlived him and is still bouncing all over Nigeria. Funny enough, Abacha was a saint and benefactor to Buhari and they both share many things in common. Who knows, he may also exit the Aso Rock the same way his friend did.
