Falana Urges Buhari To Release Dasuki, Kanu

Femi Falana has called on the federal government
to obey court orders & immediately release embattled former
National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, and Biafran leader,
Nnamdi Kanu.

Falana made the call in a statement which he

released over the weekend. In the statement, Falana said
President Buhari will be disregarding the rule of law if Dasuki
and Kanu are still being detained despite being granted bail by a
Federal court.
“The decision of the SSS to ignore the order admitting
Col. Dasuki to bail coupled with the failure to re-
arraign him on fresh charges is tantamount to impunity
in every material respect.
If the federal government were aggrieved by the order
admitting Col. Dasuki to bail it should have challenged it
in the Court of Appeal. Much as the Nigerian people are
fully behind the Buhari Administration in the patriotic
move to recover the looted wealth of the nation, the
federal government should be advised to ensure that the
procedure for the loot recovery meets the tenets of the
rule of law. The order admitting the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, to bail
should also be complied with.
If the federal government has other charges against
both suspects (Messrs. Kanu and Dasuki) it should file
them in the court. There is no provision for keeping
criminal suspects at the pleasure of security officials.
Meanwhile, all valid and subsisting orders made by courts
in favour of criminal suspects should be obeyed without
further delay,” the statement read in part
