Dasuki Blames Ordeal on Buhari


Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Mohammed Dasuki yesterday opened up before an Abuja High Court alleging that President Muhammadu Buhari was behind his unlawful arrest and detention without trial since December 29, 2015.
Dasuki who spoke through his counsel, Mr. Joseph Daudu (SAN), claimed that Buhari unjustly instigated his arrest and detention by the Department of the State Security (DSS) against the bail granted him by three different courts in various criminal charges brought against him by the Federal Government.
He claimed that the president through his comments during his recent Presidential Media Chat in December 2015 confirmed that he was behind his ordeal.
In a further affidavit filed in support of his application, Dasuki claimed that the president betrayed his emotion during the Presidential Media Chat when he openly told Nigerians that he (Dasuki) and Nnamdi Kanu would not be allowed on bail because they would jump bail.
Dasuki claimed he had since been held incommunicado since his re-arrest on December 29 when he perfected the third bail granted him by Justice Peter Affen.
He therefore asked Justice Affen to prohibit his further trial until the federal government allows him out on bail so as to prepare effectively for defence in the various criminal charges brought against him by government.
Dasuki claimed that his continued detention in spite of the bail granted him was contemptuous of the three courts and urged that the government be made to purge itself of the contempt.

The most talented speakers often have training in rhetoric and behavioral psychology. Here are 10 great examples of eloquent speakers who have made their mark on the world. 1. Martin Luther King, Jr “I Have a Dream” is perhaps the most powerful speech in American history. In poetic, unequivocal language, he explains how people can live up to their ideals for the sake of their children. 2. Abraham Lincoln In a speech only two minutes long, Lincoln explained the moral justification for the Civil War in his Gettysburg Address. 3. Winston Churchill In a few short years Churchill transformed himself from a burly, unemployed, failed novelist to a leader of the free world with ...
