Not necessarily!
No one kills a mosquito on his face with a sledge hammer talk less of killing one on the scrotum.

Dasuki is not an ordinary guy, he is a former National Security Adviser, meaning he has access to intelligence information that are termed "HIGHLY CLASSIFIED" and no nation on earth will trial such people in an open court!
No nation even tries former spies or intelligence agents in an open court, how much more the head of such agencies. It is the height of stupidity to expect a former NSA to be tried in an open court.

The aim should be that he is well represented by his choice of lawyers.

That Ben Bruce is a Senator and does not understand this fact, is a testament to how much bereft of basic leadership qualities the people that we have saddled with making laws for our country. This pronouncement by him, and that h even chose to broadcast it indicates how lacking in depth he is. SMH

Candyrain:


Open trial may reveal that Buhari is also a yam eater

Proudlyngwa:
Trying dasuki secretly, will be doing your brother Goodluck Jonathan a big favor,
Sometimes I think comparing Ben Bruce to Obanikori is an insult to Obanikoro

willywasco:
Dear followers, see the response I got for politely suggesting that Dasuki be tried openly!

alexlee50:
if that is the case, why are PDP sympathisiers crying louder that they want an open trial instead of the secret trial? On another another government that has blamed the last administration for the ills that have bedeviled the nation and have castigated the person of former president Jonathan at every given oppurtunity, now suddenly wants to protect the image of Jonathan with a secret trial? U dey reason well so?

Proudlyngwa:


left for me I support an open trial as I feel there should be no sacred cow in the fight against corruption.
the outcome of an open trial, Nigeria wont be ready for what will hit them.
and yes I dey reason wella

Looks like obama but thinks like koro

JANK23H:

Please spare us that excuse abeg. If GEJ is going to be indicted let it be done openly, and he should also defend himself openly too. Enough of all these media trials.

fujirice:

Is he also well represented by his choice of media? See that reason they gave no carry weight biko. What is he being tried for, is it not misappropriation of $2.1bn arms money? What is there to hide again? Abeg make them talk another thing jor!

eagleeye2:

A SECRET TRIAL IS ONE OF THE WAYS. Most of Dasuki's interrogation at the DSS was done in the absence of the Media. But someone privy to the details of those interrogations, made it available to the Media.
If the FG wanted things to be kept quiet, the Media wouldn't have had this Much information. And I am sure Dasuki has also said some other things that this government doesn't want us to know about and are very afraid that Dasuki will reveal in an open court.

signature2012:
Why try him secretly and use the media openly with propaganda to finish him?

Candyrain:


Oh you mean the same FG that are looking for a way to nail GEJ to the cross are now trying to protect him? Bros say something else abeg.

Let them conduct an open trial, I think the FG(Buhari) is much more scared of what will be revealed. Perhaps we might get to find out that he ate more yam than we know.

Akainzo:


That is the difference there that you just highlighted!

The govt cannot gag his lawyers or any other person from talking to the press except mandated by law. That law can only come into effect when the Judge approves a Closed Trial.

Without that approval of the law to it being a closed trial, all things are fair game and the govt can't even punish an EFCC operative for leaking the contents of such proceedings.

Akainzo:


And in trying prove his innocence, he won't have to talk about any of these:
A. Where Nigeria buys arms.
B. Nigerian security capabilities, Pre and Post his era.
C. Coded means to purchase arms given the US arms embargo.
D. Nigerian procedures for purchase of arms.


Tell me, which of the above do you think should be for open media consumption!

emekamigo:

You people don't know that this issue has Jona written all over it.If the Govt. wants they would have arrested him long ago.They are just trying to reserve his respect for him.

ISpiksDaTroof:
Then when Gej gets indicted (which he obviously will) you'll look for another battle cry. The problem with your country is wicked people like yourself. Your hypocrisy is sickening. And your kind of attitude seems to be confined to the people of a certain section of Nigeria. If your nation wants to develop it needs to figure out a way to split or Regionalism. That way everyone develops according to their pace, practice and attitude towards the outside world ; I doubt you'll make it then. Development is not just about "Natural Resources" it also involves "character", and as I see it "your" attitudes stink, you abhor the truth and that is bad for business.

Blackfire:
I notice one thing, when this govt start corruption case, in 1-2 weeks is like heaven will fall after that... Silence. Example Saraki , now dasuki.
Oga judge, Abeg give us open trial, all i know is that PDP na thieves, and APC wey want catch them na rogues.

The only reason FG wants a secret trial is to protect GEJ. Jonathan will be the major casualty of an open trial of Dasuki and that is what the FG is trying to avoid.

banmee:


What is this one saying? What you should say is, no "NORMAL" nation tries spies in open court. In normal countries, everyone is tried openly. The only difference is that the accused is not asked sensitive questions relating to National security. Dasuki is accused of fraud. What is sensitive about that? How does that impact National security?

fujirice:

So he will leave the questions being asked him about the fund and start talking about codes and all other things you mentioned? Is it even a secret where Nigeria buys it's arms? Those reasons they gave is not concrete enough. Since they opted to try the guy secretly, they should keep it secret then. What's up with all the media noise?

Akainzo:


I'd meet you anywhere to buy you dinner, if you can show me any NORMAL nation that tries intelligence officers in open court about national security issues.

I'm waiting!

Candyrain:


Abeg take this your excessive emotions away from my mention

Aldrich Ames

Klaus Fuchs Born

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg Born

These are the ones i can remember. We just did a class on it in my organization. There was two that were very recent. One was a male soldier and another was an FBI agent who used to go to work with a T shirt which read "i am a Russian spy". Bro's, American's aren't stupid. They just won't ask you details of classified documents. All they need to do is prove you had these documents and had intent to sell or give the enemy.

Now you give me examples of spies who weren't tried in open court.

I'm waiting.
