Dasuki and Dokpesi are being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in connection with an alleged $2 billion arms deal fraud.
Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has criticized President Muhammadu Buhari over the recent arrests of former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki and Chairman of Africa Independent Television (AIT), Raymond Dokpesi.
Fani-Kayode made his remarks via a statement released on Wednesday, December 2, 2015.
It reads:
“I
have just spoken to Colonel Kayode Are, the former D-G of SSS during
President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration and the former Acting
National Security Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan and I am deeply
concerned. He told me that his house is under siege and that gunshots
are being fired at him and his family as we were speaking.”
“When
you consider what is happening in Are's home and marry with the
shameful manner in which Colonel Sambo Dasuki, Chief Raymond Dokpesi,
Governor Attahiru Bafawara, Alhaji Bashir Yuguda, Nnamdi Kanu, Godswill
Orubebe, Bukola Saraki, Sule Lamido and others are being persecuted,
threatened and demonised by the Federal Government it is clear that we
are now in a police state in which law and order has broken down and in
which anything can happen.”
“The case of Dasuki
was particularly bad. He was barricaded in his home against court orders
and treated like an animal for three weeks. He was humiliated and
subjected to mental and psychological torture for no just cause for that
period of time even though the courts had told the SSS to let him
travel out of the country for urgent medical attention.”
“As
far as I am concerned they are trying to kill him simply by denying him
the right to see his doctors even though they know that he is very
sick. If this were not the case then why are they indulging in all this
dangerous and reckless drama.”
“Why are people
remaining silent when this is a clear case of vendetta, vengeance,
wickedness, injustice and a crude attempt to destroy, silence and kill
an innocent man ? It is Dasuki today but it could be anyone else
tomorrow. The truth is that the Buhari government is playing a dangerous
game of Russian roulette with a loaded gun and if they are not careful
it will soon explode. If they are not careful they will soon lose the
confidence and trust of the people.”
“They do not
fear God. They are vindictive, petty, vicious, unforgiving and unjust
and if they continue in this way apart from alienating the people they
run the risk of provoking the wrath of God. If they have any evidence of
wrongdoing on the part of Dasuki or anyone else then they should
present it in court rather than on the pages of newspapers and if they
wish to charge anyone they should go ahead and do so in a lawful, proper
and civilized manner.”
Dasuki has been accused of laundering the funds which were meant for use in the procurement of arms for Nigeria’s military.
