Mr. Buhari turned the nation into a slave plantation, and forbade the
slaves from any discussion of their enslavement—especially a return to
democracy. He favored the north over the south, dividing rather than
unifying Nigeria after the convulsions of the 1967-70 Biafran War. He
lent support to the introduction of Sharia law in the North—a major
source of strife and disharmony.
Mr. Buhari’s brutal military dictatorship was overthrown in 1985. Mr.
Dasuki played a key role. Dictators do not forget. Fast forward to today.
After celebrating fairness, due process, and the rule of law last July to
win the good will of the United States, Mr. Buhari returned to Nigeria to
mock all three in a vendetta against the Dasuki, the immediate past
National Security Adviser.
He placed Mr. Dasuki under house arrest. He confiscated his passport.
He charged him with firearms and money laundering violations. He
sought a secret trial to prevent independent scrutiny.
He opposed Mr. Dasuki’s pretrial application to the Federal High Court
sitting in Abuja for permission to receive urgent medical treatment for
cancer in London, but it was nonetheless granted.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola explained that an accused is presumed innocent
before trial, and that a citizen’s health is paramount before the law. Mr.
Buhari was ordered to release Mr. Dasuki’s international passport.
Mr. Buhari defied the order. He put Mr. Dasuki’s house under siege, a
microcosm of the Bosnian Serb siege of Sarajevo. Mr. Dasuki returned to
court. Justice Ademola reaffirmed his order, asserting “My own orders
will not be flouted.”
Mr. Buhari has not yet budged. As a military dictator in 1985, he
similarly seized the international passport of Chief Obafemi Awolowo to
thwart his travel for medical treatment, which caused his death in 1987.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Much is riding on Mr. Dasuki’s case. If Mr. Buhari flouts Justice
Ademola’s order with impunity, judicial independence will be fatally
compromised and Nigeria’s embryonic democratic dispensation will be
stillborn. The judiciary is the only branch capable of checking limitless
executive power—the bane of Africa.
Members of Nigeria’s National Assembly and Senate have been reduced
to playing the roles of extras in cinematic extravaganzas.
Further, President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration accepted a
peaceful transfer of power to President Buhari, a laudable landmark in
African politics. If Mr. Buhari is permitted with impunity to destroy his
political opponents like Mr. Dasuki with tyrannical methods, peaceful
transfers of power everywhere on the Continent will become problematic.
The incumbents’ risk of political and personal impalement at the hands
of their would-be successors will be too high.
The United States should be insisting on independent human rights
observers to monitor Mr. Dasuki’s prosecution and trial, and demanding
that Mr. Buhari honor his vow to follow due process and the rule of law.
The stakes are too high to remain silent.
