Fayose support dansuki

Ayodele Fayose, the governor of the Ekiti
state, has reacted to the arrest of the former
National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, by
the Department of State Services (DSS).
The governor restated his support for the
fight against corruption, claiming that it must
be done uder the law and must not be used
to look for revenge.
Fayose said Dasuki’s arrest is continuation
of President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime of
vengeance, adding that “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”.

He announced support for Dasuki’s demand
for an open heearing as against the federal
government’s demand for a secret trial.
“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 noted.
He asked for caution on the information
being given by authorities to the public on its
anti-corruption, noting that trying people in
the media as being done by the Buhari’s
adnministration 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.
Dasuki is blamed for awarding fake contracts
to purchase 12 helicopters, four fighter jets
and ammunition. He denies the accusations.
The equipment was meant for the fight
against Boko Haram insurgents.
