barcanista:
My brother, this man matter tire me. First he tried his dispotic ways by launching democratic Decree 4 against AIT-we resisted. Not this! We all must be watchful otherwise the government will someday turn us into the next victims.

barcanista:
whether Dasuki was partisan as NSA or not, it still doesn't negate the very fact that there are procedures of doing things as enshrined in our laws. If you say he was corrupt, can you give us facts to back your claim? Can you also tell us when DSS got the mandate to arrest alleged corrupt individuals or when they got the mandate to arrest on behalf of EFCC, ICPC and SFU. Even if there was petition sent to the anti-corruption agencies, is it not proper to invite the said person FIRST? Do you understand our laws? Buhari cannot be using 1984 style that is impunitive and criminal according to our law. He cannot do as he pleases but must be constrained to our laws. It doesn't matter whether you agree or not, what matters is that the laws must be protected. Buhari won't have such luxury...this I assure you

Abugab:
Who is more democratic, the man who used his position as NSA to loot large sums and play dirty politics or the man who is ensuring that such culprit is brought to book?
We really don't care about the style of arrest being it commando or sniper styled because the actions of this same person has infringed on the rights of countless number of Nigerians and thus, the matter of rights infringement shouldn't be brought up here.

barcanista:
A leopard never change its spot. But we won't allow Buhari the leisure of tyranny

SarahBabyxx:


you're a murderer

Abugab:


When we talk about law we must go back to basis and that will be starting with PDP.
I really like your engaging spirit but let's put it on the path that will yield the all time tested principle of utility where majority are satisfied as against the few satisfied now. Nigeria as it were right now needs a firm leader and that is PMB. I will like you to look at Benevolent Dictatorship and let's share ideas it their via emails.
Nigeria shall be great again and Nigerians better for it.

If you've forgotten, let me quickly reminds you... bfr the general election, DSS stormed the house of Bola Tinubu on whose account
Are we in military era then For what reasons Oh, Is GEJ then a military man


Barcanista, your betray is more than that of Judas Iscariot.... And if Judas can hung himself for that, you should be cremated live

He said that no soldier had been deployed specifically to keep surveillance on the APC leader.

The GOC said: “Why should we deploy soldiers to monitor Sen. Bola Tinubu, there is no need for it as he has not done anything wrong”.
“The soldiers are not deployed to take over, surround or mount surveillance on Tinubu’s house,”

baralatie:

If you don't care about the style of arrest,hmmmmm!
It means you have granted him powers beyond the constitution!
Which is not a good idea!
Just follow due process!how difficult can it be?

Tonitelli:



The op is not a concerned Nigerian...far from it...a Confused Nigerian is more like it...with attention seeking issues...
And thank you for telling him abt the DSS...it's the exNSA, and it's would involve matters of national security.
Why the op would not wait to hear the other side of the story before rushing out to spew thrash is typical..you are the one that sounds like a concerned Nigerian....with sense..!

I love it when people see issues objectively. Good to know we share similar views.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Buhari doesn't forgive nor forget, neither does he even trust himself let alone somebody outside his family.

He is used to "show of force" and hadn't any experience where rule of law is apply accept now hence he is living his old self.

The quicker he constitute his cabinet, appoint his advisers and assemble a team of economic experts to salvage what is left of the setbacks caused by his indecision, the better.

Where is the attorney general of the Federation in a critical time like this to guide the General on the rule of law as he tends to prosecute his enemies and consequently recover our stolen funds carted away in foreign banks?

Greatfuture:
Nigerian always trying to whip up sentiments at any action.Thank God the man is not from another tribe or religion you would have that escuse.have you asked yourself why the police,dss or army did not invade your house or arrest you?The man iin question Dasuki is a public servant and if he has questions to answer let him do.if he is clean he will be let free,and if he feels his right as been hurt,he is free to take legal action.please stop whiping up sentiment.Let me ask again,you are not a criminal,you are not in anyway associated with crime and you sea a policeman patroling your street.will you be scared?
For Barcanista,when you hold a position of responsibility be ready to give account of your stewardship,,just as you enjoyed the perk of the office.

Abugab:


DSS is a constitutional body the last time I checked with a mandate to arrest people with questionable characters and actions like in Dasuki's.
I am still trying to see why all these fuse.
They are doing their job and if Dasuki is wronged, he can sort relief from appropriate quarters.
Every action must not be criticized.

barcanista:
I think you have comprehension issues. In case you aren't aware, the army DENIED ever storming Tinubu's House. In fact, the allegation was made by Tinubu. No picture or nothing was made.

So that was mere allegation and cannot pass.

Hear the GOC 81 Division (Lagos)

baralatie:

DSS need warrant to place and arrest on a SUSPECT and not outright arrest and detention.

Freciprocal:
Your caption is quite misleading, but ur intentions are pure...

I see you as a concerned Nigerian, making sure PMB does not go amiss.

On the topic... when it comes to issues of the nation's security, the DSS can whisk anyone away depending on the Intel they get. The story is still unfolding, we would have to wait till we hear the other side.


Also concerning PMB, I. Know the expectation is high. We need to pressure him in all ways necessary cos indeed Nigerians deserves better. But a little patience would do also.

We were patient with GEJ for close to 6 years, let's hope for the best and expect the worst from PMB for 4 years, then we can/might kick him out with our votes...

Our major triumph is in the electoral system which I hope would be sustained

From the President

I am not here to hold brief for Col Dasuki Sambo, I am not saying that he shouldn't be made to face the law if he's found wanting. My position is that proper procedure need to be followed, I believe this is the position of the law.

For all of us,when you hold a position of responsibility be ready to give account of your stewardship,,just as you enjoyed the perk of the office.

Abugab:


I am sure you and I don't having the benefit of knowing if they have the warrant.
That is why I am more cautious to throw tantrums when all needed information is not available to me.
If they don't have one Dasuki knows what to do.
Let's not cry more than the bereaved

barcanista:

baralatie:

The president is not the attorney general nor is he the federal high judge.

baralatie:

That is why the operatives are not entitled to outright arrest and detention.according to the reports released.How will Mr.Dasuki be attended to by His Lawyers when "the report states he has been taken to undisclosed location".(as a citizen his right to legal representation has been denied).
The same DSs has not placed any application to a court of jurisprudence.
you tell me what do you think

baralatie:

The president is not the attorney general nor is he the federal high judge.

Abugab:


Drinking my slimming tea. Lil
Sincerely, more facts I am sure will be emerging as each day passes and we could be doing rejoinders.
Let's still watch a little bit more

barcanista:
Just last night news broke out that security operatives from the Department of State Security (DSS) were surrounding the private residence of immediate past National Security Adviser Rtd Col Dasuki Sambo. It was also reported that another group of DSS agents had taken over the family residence of the Sokoto caliphate prince, holding members of his family hostage in their bid to arrest the ex-NSA. While some supporters of the government cheered at the news, some of us are worried of the development. We are worried because we want to be sure whether we are still in the 1984 General Buhari draconian era or we are in the 2015 President Buhari era.

What can justify the harassment of a man that was never summoned by the security agents to appear before their agency? Has there been any court warrant issued against him. So why the harassment? If Dasuki Sambo is needed to explain certain things to the DSS or any security agency, isn't it proper to send him invitation/summon for him to appear? Is it not when he failed to appear that he can be declared "Wanted" and forcefully arrested? Some people alleged that he was "corrupt" when he was the NSA, but they failed to realise that the agencies mandated for anti-corruption fight are EFCC, ICPC and Special Fraud Unit of the Police force. Even at that there are procedures.

Was Buhari sincere when he said that he has been democratically converted from his dictatorial past and will operate under democratic norms? In his own word in his February 16 Chatham House Speech

“Before you is a former military ruler and a converted democrat who is ready to operate under democratic norms"
www.vanguardngr.com/2015/02/buhari-at-chatham-house-why-i-want-to-be-president-buhari/

Let us recall that days after Buhari was elected President, one of the first thing he did was to bar law abiding journalists attached to AIT from covering his activities. It took spirited efforts and criticism from patriotic Nigerians before he had to reverse himself. We all hoped that event will be the last undemocratic act of the then President-elect. But it now appears like we were wrong.

I am not here to hold brief for Col Dasuki Sambo, I am not saying that he shouldn't be made to face the law if he's found wanting. My position is that proper procedure need to be followed, I believe this is the position of the law. We can't allow government to continue to disregard our laws at will. That's unacceptable. If we allow this to go on we may someday become victims individually or as a group. The President must abide by his pledge at subject himself to democratic norms. He cannot be deploying the same draconian tactics of 1984 under the democratic era of 2015.

Recall that on February 10, the APC leader Alhaji Bola Ahmed Tinubu alleged that he was being monitored by the military. Though this was refuted by the military as a ruse. However, the APC tagged it as "criminal" and misuse of the security agencies. In the words of Lagos APC Spokesman Joe Igbokwe

"We see this brazen display of brute force as yet another in the series of the criminal misuse of the army...
We urge Nigerians to rise up and fight the creeping culture of impunity and deliberate misuse of the army and other security agencies for the prosecution of the hideous interests..."
www.thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2015/02/10/military-siege-on-tinubus-lagos-home-fashola-lagos-apc-react/

I hope the President learn from the words of his party. Most importantly, he should act like a converted democrat and not a pretentious dictator operating under the cover of "agbada".
