The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has
described the arrest Tuesday, of the immediate past
National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, by the
Department of State Services (DSS), as continuation of
President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime of vengeance,
saying “disobeying court order and later arresting and
detaining the same person the court ordered to be
allowed to travel abroad for medicare is the peak of
dictatorship”.
Governor Fayose, who reiterated his support for the
fight against corruption, maintained that it must be done
within the ambit of the law and must not be used to seek
vengeance.
He declared support for Mr. Dasuki’s demand for an
open trial as against the federal government’s demand
for a secret trial.
In a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti his spokesperson,
Lere Olayinka, Mr. Fayose said “after flagrantly
disobeying court orders, whatever that is done or said by
the Buhari-led government concerning Sambo Dasuki
will appear vindictive and it remains to be seen how a
government that refused to obey the court will now
charge Dasuki to the same court”.
The governor called for caution on the information
being given by the federal government to the public on
its anti-corruption, saying trying people in the media as
being done by the federal government was dangerous to
democracy and rule of law.
“Again, is it the duty of the DSS to investigate fraud? If
Dasuki committed fraud as being alleged, why not let
the appropriate government agency handle his matter?
Why first torturing him emotionally with the DSS siege
on his house?
“My position is that, since the federal government said
report of its panel indicted Dasuki, why arresting and
detaining him? Why not charge him to court so that he can also accept
guilt or defend himself?” the governor said.
