Sambo Dasuki Cries Out: My Problem Is From Buhari

The former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, who is accused of misusing billions of naira meant for the fight against Boko Haram militants, opened up Friday at Abuja High Court, blaming President Muhammadu Buhari for his arrest and detention without trial since December 29, 2015.

Dasuki, who spoke through his counsel, Joseph Daudu, said President Buhari instigated his detention unjustly against the bail granted him by three different courts, through his comment during a presidential media chat in December 2015.

In an affidavit filed in support of his application at the court, Dasuki said the president betrayed his emotions during the media chat when he openly told Nigerians that he (Dasuki) and Nnamdi Kanu, the pro-Biafra leader, could not be released on bail because they would jump bail.

Dasuki said he had been held incommunicado since his re-arrest.

He therefore asked Justice Peter Affen to prohibit his further trial until the federal government purged itself of the contempt of court which prevented him from filing effective defence because of his continued detention by the State Security Service, SSS, without having access to his lawyers.

Dasuki exhibited several newspaper cuttings in support of his motion to stop his trial, saying the newspaper publications contained President Buhari comments that he should not be allowed to go home even if granted bail by any court.

Daudu, who led a retinue of lawyers on behalf of Dasuki, urged Justice Affen to enforce his earlier order which granted bail to Dasuki adding that justice is for all parties in any court action.

 Daudu also stated that the claim that the former NSA was being held by the SSS and not the EFCC could not hold water because the federal government was the complainant in the charge against Dasuki and that both the SSS and EFCC are agents of the Federal Government.

In opposing the application, the counsel to the Federal Government, Rotimi Jacob told Justice Affen that the charge against Dasuki was at the instance of the EFCC and not the SSS.

He denied that the federal government disobeyed the court on the ground that on December 29, 2015 when the bail conditions were perfected, Dasuki was released by the prison authority at Kuje but was however arrested by another government agency.

Jacob asked the court not to grant Dasuki’s application because the SSS that rearrested him was not a party to the charges before Justice Affen who granted him the bail.

On the newspaper publications, Jacob said they were not tenable before the court because they were not certified as required by law.

After listening to the parties, Justice Affen fixed March 4, 2016 to give a ruling on the application.

  1. Now they want to apply the same sarai tactics - look away from the crime and question the validity of the arrest or prosecution. Now I'm beginning to think Mr daudu is seemingly unsound;from the moment I saw him sweating profusely under intense pressure,repeating statements that have been quashed by the CCT chairman during saraki's case late last year.

  7. Just like he's the problem of most people whose lives has been put on hold and are now languishing in IDPS. Juts like he's the problem for children who don't and may never get to know or meet their parents. Everybody wants the rule of law upheld but to what extent if the nation is on standstill by a few wicked individuals?

  16. In as much as it is the election of Buhari as president that led to the instigation of trials of people like Dasuki, it is not strange to hear Dasuki saying "Buhari is behind his ordeal".
    If Buhari wasn't elected, Dasuki would have continued to loot further.Thank God for Buhari's election that unravel all the mysteries behind what would have been hidden from Nigerians, talking about $2.1 arm funds, we can then agree with Dasuki that not only Buhari is behind his ordeal but all Nigerians that elected Buhari as their president.
    If Buhari is not behind Dasuki's ordeal, who else then will it be? He should just live with it.....gbam.

  19. He should not blame anybody for his woe, he should remember that sinner will not go unpunished, he betrayed the trust reposed in him while holding public office, the $2.1B that was squandered was enough to build primary health care & purchase of the drugs in 776 Local Government in Nigeria that would have benefited the masses. He's now calling for trial, anyway this is democracy he's entitle to fair hearing.

  20. Any way, by right once an individual or group had been granted bail by court, nobody or organization has te right for further detention of that person unless they later find him guilty and have the full proof to re arrest him. Even when rearrested, he ha the full right to have access to his lawyers, therefore, the federal government should do things accordingly, let them not take laws into their hands.
