Bros, no one is exonerating Dasuki, I will even love to hear that he is convicted and sent to jail. That is why I supported change of government. This present administration will be better than the former . Nevertheless, as a victim of false accusation, I don't support media trial. What PMB should do is to have a closed door meeting with members of NJC so as to win their support. He can also investigate all judges to arrest the corrupt ones. After sanitizing the judiciary, then all corrupt politicians would be arrested. But to disobey court order, it is no no to all learned men. Civilization started in the law courts. Don't downplay its importance.

I agree with you sir,But in the process of carrying out those recommendations of yours,it will be in interest of me and you for the President to carrying on the way he intended prior the sanitation of the Judiciary.What sauce for the goose also sauce for the gander.Have a lovely weekend and new year

A PRESIDENT can issue executive orders and vetoes ....especially wen it deals wit national security....even d judges demselves knows d@ ...d@s why dasuki's lawyer is beggin d president if not he would ave sued d president or efcc for disobeying d court orders....dis is national security issue, some certain privileges must be set aside to deal squarely wit d issue...DASUKI HAS BETRYAYED D CITIZEN HE WUZ IN POSITION TO PROTECT BY CONSTITUTION....so let us also Bleep his own rights and suspend rule of law to a certain extent in his case for his betrayal....

Will all these kids stop talking gibberish here, please! The Judiciary is corrupt... this person is corrupt... everybody is corrupt... bla bla bla! Hypocrites! So, it is only Buhari and associate that are saints, bu na o na? i mere nke oma Nigerians.

maestroferddi:
Today is new year so I will resist the temptation of launching out on you.

This is how it goes. There have been a deluge of media sensationalism as per what Dasuki did or didn't do. We are yet to hear Dasuki accept that he committed the allegations which are levelled against him. Infact the man has pleaded not guilty to all the charges being preferred against him.

We don't know who is telling the truth so the only appropriate way to ascertain the veracity of the issues is to subject the whole matter to judicial scrutiny. That is the way it works in civilised societies.

The principles of rule of law and separate of powers are at least over 100 years in existence so APC and Buhari ought to have known better. Buhari is just a president who will eventually vacate office some day. The workings of the society are enshrined in the judiciary or put in a more vivid way the judiciary holds the supreme/overarching/ultimate fiduciary interest of society. This interest must be kept sacrosanct.

Men may come and go but institutions are sacred. We must rise up in unison to condemn any attempt by any government in power to gravitate towards dictatorship and stifling of civil liberties.

I appreciate your reservation to pound on me as I chose to argue constructively. Nevertheless, DASUKI in the past weeks revealed a lot of things,perhaps you're not aware of them all.One of them is the revelation of AIT chairman,publicly admitted to have collected a whooping sum of 2billion from DASUKI to fund PDP campaign.Another, is our ex finance minister backing up the story.I'll appreciate a detailed analysis from you on DASUKI innocence coupled with some facts.
Am certain you're well acquainted with the saying that goes thus "What sauce for goose also sauce for gander"
A common man that was imprisoned over an offence of stomach balancing and still, some are awaiting trial for years now in detention,I understand rule of law must prevailed but in the absence of good justice dispensation,let the given mandate of nigerians to the president continue.we can't allow day light robbery of judicial cases any longer .Let me leave with you one Martin Luther King Jr quotes(one of my favorite) "Injustice done anywhere,is a threat to justice everywhere"

No sane court, anywhere in the world, will grant Dasuki or Kanu bail. A more experienced, unbiased, properly trained court would have ruled that they will be detained pending trial because of their penchant and propensity for violence, their ties and connections outside the borders of Nigeria, their ability to easily start chaos if let loose, the(ir) ability and incentive to not show up for any future court proceedings because: (1) of the weighty evidence against them; (2) The high probability of conviction (3) And the probability of long custodial sentences upon conviction.

It is fo*olish to release such dangerous men back to society before the conclusion of proceedings against them. I do not see any condition, or set of conditions that'll satisfactorily ensure that these men return to court to prove their innocence if released. For this reason I will urge the Nigerian Judiciary to detain them pending trial.

WTF
In a sane society with standard settings..
Dasuki should have been Hanged by now buh in Banana Republic called Nigeria. He is asking for bail.

teadrake:
PMB should transfer DASUKI to IDPs for him to witness the devastating effect of his action.Am sure they will lynch him to death.Any legal idiot that calls for the Release of DASUKI should also pay a courtesy visit to the IDPs to feed their pathetic eyes

Good.
He should also go to the orphans and widows of soldiers, DSS and policemen who wasted in active duties by BH.

beg?he be like say craze dey worry dis man.. Make him go beg all the innocent people and soldiers kill because of him greed. Abeg make dem send am to spend the rest of him life for prison jo

Amen and you too.

sirTesco:
God will certainly bless u for this comment.
May ur New year be bright and merry.

I once supported d motion dat democracy is an enemy of d poor masses because it gives room 4 corruption to thrive all in d name of rule of law and unending court trials

•President’s no-release stand splits lawyers

By Chris Iwarah

Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki, yesterday pleaded with President Muhammadu Buhari to allow him enjoy the bail granted him by the Federal High Court in Abuja.

Meanwhile, lawyers yesterday took divergent positions on Buhari’s explanation of the continued detention of former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki and pro-Biafra agitator, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu despite different court orders admitting them to bail.

Buhari said during his first presidential media chat on Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) on Wednesday that Dasuki and Kanu could not be released because they would jump bail, describing the charges against them as serious.

Speaking with Daily Sun on the development yesterday, counsel to Dasuki, Alhaji Ahmed Raji (SAN), said: “I would want to appeal to Mr. President to please allow my client to enjoy the bail that was granted to him. I want to beg him in the name of God. I cannot join words with the president. I have the greatest respect for him, both in his official and personal capacities. My appeal is just that I am begging him in the name of God to allow my client to enjoy his bail.”

But former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Prince Lanke Odogiyan said Buhari’s stand was a manifestation of dictatorship.
The president’s refusal to release Dasuki and Kanu, he warned, was a slide into lawlessness.He urged the NBA, human rights organisations and other non-governmental groups to call the president to order to prevent the nation from sliding into anarchy.

His words: “It’s disobedience of court order and if it’s not checked, it can lead to consequences beyond our imaginations. It’s a manifestation of dictatorial tendencies and it should not be encouraged. The president must be advised by his legal handlers. If he is not satisfied with an order of court, the appropriate thing to do is to appeal. But he can’t disobey it, he can’t ignore it.

“The Nigerian Bar Association, NGOs and human rights bodies will speak with one voice to call Mr. President to order. We have to be careful so that we don’t slide into anarchy. No government should pick and choose what orders to obey.”

Chief Ladi Rotimi-Williams (SAN), however, said the president was acting in the overall interest of the nation.
“The president is at a vantage point to know what is good for the nation at any given time. Sambo Dasuki is a very powerful man and you don’t take such powerful men lightly.

“I am sure he (Buhari) has placed the interest of the nation over and above the interest of Sambo Dasuki, ditto for Kanu. He is not doing so because he doesn’t like their faces.”
The interest of the nation overrides everything else.”

President of the African Bar Association, Mr. Hannibal Uwaifo also insisted that Buhari was on the right path.
He said it was sentimental to claim that Buhari was the one responsible for the continued detention of Dasuki and Kanu. The detainees, he said, were contending with the consequences of infringing the nation’s laws.

Former Chairman of the Ikeja branch of NBA, Mr. Monday Ubani, however, said Buhari’s comments might have been misunderstood.
He said: “Whatever the president has said, he can’t play the roles of the legislature, executive, and the judiciary. The judiciary will certainly handle the cases that are before it. The president can only execute what the judiciary has said. So, I don’t want whatever the president has said to be taken out of proportion.

What I understand the president to be saying actually, which he may not have put in a way that every person would understand, is that we can’t allow a system where prominent people alleged to have committed heinous crimes are given all manner of luxuries after they have put a lot of people in problem and they can’t stay here and answer the charges; they now want to go abroad for treatment while this same thing is not extended to the poor.”

am sure PMB is aware of how corrupt those idiot NBA member are. So 9ja will slide into Anachy because two inbesiles that compromise d law of d land are rufused bail? Thurnder and Amadioha fire all those opposing PMB decision. Dasuki will rot in jail n hell for d numerous soldiers who lost their live due to his. corrupt act.

Goodyshoes:
We have a dictatorship here in Nigeria....
A leopard does not change its spots. However long it might take.....
Meanwhile, Happy new year....

Whether dictatocracy or militocracy, we have the president with the best temprament in charge.

Ask Russia, did Putin not reposition the nation by being firm?

Long live PMB. May the almighty give you the grace to follow through.

which part of the nigerian constitution empowers the president to veto the judiciary?

BishopMagic:
All these fake beggings.

I laff.

Buhari wants to save face because his puppet masters have gave him an ultimatum to release Dasuki and Kanu and to stop disobeying court orders and killing defenseless civilians.

Them don dey count his long list of human rights abuse since may 29.

This apc Govt will end up like the Muslim Brotherhood

Mr man keep shut, Nigeria is no Egypt...majority r wit d president on dis unlike u n ur pathetic PDP sympathizer n Will never lead to d country breakdown like Egypt and lybia which was cause by d Arab string.... Mr president has broken no law in re-arresting our Yam thief Dansuki n d apologetic deceiver Kanu who can into dis country God know thru wat root.

naijafella:
Human rights says you should embezzle billions of dollars meant for arms purchase. Human right says you should set up an illegal radio station and preach hate messages..I think we don't know the gravity of offences committed by these fellows.Or maybe we have gotten a share of the Dasuki loot.

He's guilty until proven guilty by a competent court

madridguy:
Since our judiciary system is as corrupt as NPF, I think PMB his in better position to take over till there is a better reform in our legal sector. Era of looting Billion and buy the legal system with just 3 Million is over, Lucky Igbinedion case is a clear example. Make both Dasuki and Kanu enjoy small for inside Inbox.

This was exactly how Abacha started. In the name of fighting corruption and indiscipline.

BishopMagic:
The same human rights that were accusing your army of killing bokos

I guess traffic blockades warrant a massacre.

I guess the thieves in Buhari's govt are saints and not koworpt like Abacha

I guess shooting of protesters is part of your human rights.

You apc zombies are trading your freedom and that of your children without knowing it.

so funny as igbo are now fighting for Dasuki and shiites as if there are sincere................They just looking for anything to antagonize this govt.

My message to igbos. ANY GROUP FIGHTING GOVT. IS INFLICTING PAINS ON HER PEOPLE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.

BishopMagic:
Prepare a tight case with evidence and see if Dasuki won't be convicted

The onus lies on the prosecution to provide evidence that Dasuki is guilty

That is how it works

No other authority can declare Dasuki guilty other than the judiciary

this is why DEMOCRACY is the biggest global problem after terrorism and global warming lol. "evidence" kindly visit idp camps nationwide as well as the fallen heroes' mourning families for evidence. by the way, any institution that feels those two are fit to coexist among other citizens without inciting ill-feeling is a sham and should not be trusted. and dont be making this judiciary seem all-knowing, they are humans..they can eat YAMS too

Let the judges go home and let Buhari preside over all the cases in the court. Apc change means from democratic government to dictatorship government.

Goodyshoes:
We have a dictatorship here in Nigeria....

did I hear you say dictatorship,, if he. was more than a dictator the better .. nigerian s don't deserve democracy

Nigga,u dull.na ur family dy go down so

I a, in full support of PMB actions, Nigeria is not just anyhow how country that can be handle just anyhow, We need a strong hand to handle Nigeria and Nigerians..

clevvermind:
buhari should just free this man na. why is he making himself above the law?

You don't deserve to live... Can you hear yourself

Buhari is on point. What exactly does Nigerians want? Our court as today cannot be trusted. After court reforms ,we will begin to follow court order.

punche:
You don't deserve to live... Can you hear yourself

pls, shut up ok.

BishopMagic:
So you don't want a trial.

Have you heard of innocent till proven guilty?

We have the judiciary for a reason. Tell your Buhari to face his executive functions and stop abusing the institutions of Justice.

The illiterate should read the constitution and averse himself of his limitations.

Maybe because none of your family member was a victim of this heartless being called dasuki

Through him,Sultan again? Ndi a Through him,Sultan again? Ndi a
