President Muhammadu Buhari has given reasons why his government has refused to release a former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, and the coordinator of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, despite several court directives.

Mr. Dasuki, who is facing trial for allegedly diverting and sharing over $2.2 billion dollars meant for arms procurement for the anti-Boko Haram war, to politicians and cronies, was on Wednesday re-arrested by the State Security Service after he had been granted bail by three different courts.

Mr. Kanu, who is spearheading the quest for an independent nation of Biafra, was earlier granted bail by a Federal high Court sitting in Abuja, but he was also re-arrested by the SSS, which slammed a fresh charge of treasonable felony against him.



Speaking during his first presidential media chat at the presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday, Mr. Buhari said the two accused persons cannot be allowed to enjoy any form of freedom due to the enormity of their offenses.

“”If you see the atrocities these people committed against this country, we can’t allow them to jump bail,” he said.

Mr. Buhari said Mr. Dasuki was simply sharing government’s money the way he liked.

“They would just say to Central Bank give so and so, 40 billion naira just like that; 40 billion,” he said.

He also said it would be bad to allow Mr. Dasuki “travel to London to see his doctor” arguing, “What of the over two million people displaced, most of them orphans whose fathers have been killed, what type of government do you want to run? We cannot allow that”.

Mr. Buhari also said despite having two international passports, one for Britain and the other for Nigeria, Mr. Kanu “did not use any of them to come into the country”.

He also said the IPOB leader smuggled in equipment with which he came in to preach hate messages.

THE PRESIDENT SAID ONE THING THAT FURTHER STRENGTHEN MY CONFIDENCE IN HIM. HE SAID HE SWORE BY AN QUR'AN TO PROTECT THE LAW OF THE COUNTRY. IS CLEAR THE PRESIDENT HAS NOT FORGOTTEN SOME OF HIS PROMISES AS WELL. UNLIKE MANY OTHER POLITICIANS THAT SWEAR FOR SWEARING SAKE.

chai! I pity dem

[color=#DC143C]I expect some idiots to come and praise him for this speech. Buhari in his quest to defend the sovereignity has defied orders from one of the arms of government, the judiciary. So what sovereignity is he defending then? The power of the judiciary has been rubbished and it would remain so with successive government.[/color]

We are in a military government & not a democratic government..,,

He didn't. He obeyed court orders, granted bail BUT because there were many crimes discovered during investigation, had them re-arrested for new offences. That is the position of law - bail for crime A and arrest for crime B. When they get bail for B, C is awoken

And its legal

In As Much As It's Legal,am Ok With It.

[color=#DC143C]You're pretty smart in twisting facts. Let me remind you that twice, he failed to produce the accused in the court. Before pressing another charge on him, didn't the accused stay in his detention over a month since he was granted bail. Don't try to twist fact because it doesn't changes the president's status as a law breaker. [/color]
