"From the available facts before the court, it is clear that the DSS either enough materials to prosecute the applicant in a law court or yet to make up their mind on prosecution.

"Constitution remains the supreme law. It does not permit detention of a Nigerian citizen for a period spanning over two months without charging the citizen before the law court. This court has the duty to protect the constitution and one of the duties is to admit a citizen of this country on bail when his right to freedom is being violated,"

Since the pronouncement of Buhari justifying Nnamdi Kanu and Sambo Dasuki's detention, some people have gone public to abuse the President and seeking to score cheap point. Has Buhari or DSS really violated the law in Kanu and Dasuki's trial?

On Nnamdi Kanu's Continuous Detention
Firstly, I want to make some clarification. At no time did any court "free or clear" Mr Nnamdi Kanu of any charge against him. What Justice Ademola of the FHC(Abuja) did was to vacate the order it first granted to DSS to detain Kanu for three months. The court vacated the order on the ground that it was unconstitutional to hold a suspect in detention for more than three months without charging such suspect to court. In the words of the learned judge;



What the DSS simply did was to detain Kanu and file case in court on charges that borders on treason. In other words, Kanu is no longer being detained without trial as it was before. It is left for him to argue his innocence with the judge. If the DSS had breached the court ruling, the judge would have summoned them for contempt.

Did Kanu Really Commit Treason?
What constitute treason in Nigeria? The offence of treason can be found in sections 37 to 49 of the Nigeria criminal code.

According to section 37(1) of the Nigeria criminal code; Any person who levies war against the State, in order to intimidate or overawe the President or the Governor of a State, is guilty of treason, and is liable to the punishment of death. Section 37(2) further stated that Any person conspiring
with any person, either within or without Nigeria, to levy war against the State with intent to cause such levying of war as would be treason if committed by a citizen of Nigeria, is guilty of treason and is liable to the punishment of death:.

Through radio biafra, Kanu preached inciting messages and even went as far as soliciting for arms with intent to wage war against the State. This was captured in a video that has gone viral. I think that breached section 37(2) of Nigeria criminal code(in my opinion). It is however left for the judge to make pronouncement.

Radio Chanji, Radio Kudirat and Radio Biafra

Eshinwaju:
Only a mischievous person would disagree with your points...it is clear that Kanus new charges of treasonable felony have not yet been heard...in other words...it's premature to accuse the government of disobeying the courts...

Amitex:

@ Barca, was there really any difference between Radio Chanji, Radio Kudirat and Radio Biafra
I remembered that some people also promised to form a parrllel government. Just wondering if we have different laws for different people or are we being hypocritical with the TRUTH

Obiagelli:
I have come to realise that the so called enlighten Nigeria choose to read and hear whatever suites them, i have seen mischivious elements in the mainstream manipulate contents with total unconnected headlines.

I have always wondered if there is a law that says a suspect can't be rearrested for fresh charges after bail

God bless the OP for this piece. Happy new year Nigerians.

In my opinion, people should stop heating the polity and compounding the problem of Mr Nnamdi Kanu. Instead, they should seek to obtain pardon for the youngman from the government. Kanu's alleged offence is grave.

CaaseStudy:
I see you have a personal vendetta with
this kanu issue hence you are always quick to defend
illegality hiding under the veil of rationality and correctness
just to ease your anger and loathe for kanu. Please what can
u say in the case of radio kudirat, Oba akiolu, junaid mohammed and
other northern elements who have voiced more outragoeus
and treasonable comments than this kanu you so wish to go
down. Are this persons i mentioned more Nigerian than
Kanu. Why is he be singled out even when there are video
evidences and documented records of the provocative and
divisive comments by this other Nigerians. What were your position then

TonyeBarcanista:
On Colonel Sambo Dasuki...
Did the DSS contravene any law or disobeyed the court by re-arresting Sambo Dasuki? I don't think so. The Court judgement of December 21 granted Sambo Dasuki and others bail in a N9billion fraud case. Though Dasuki and others were released from prison after meeting bail condition, he was re-arrested after stepping out of prison.

We have to note that the bail was respected by the DSS but unfortunately for him(Dasuki), the judgement of the court didn't grant him any immunity from further arrest. Hence, the government committed no offence in re-arresting him. But why is he even looking for bail when he should be more concerned with clearing his name as regards the $2.2billion arms fund that he allegedly looted with his friends? Why should a "big thief" be using bail to walk free while a poor man languish in prison for years on "awaiting-trial"? I think the government should be encouraged to re-arrest him each time he's granted bail.

I don't believe in abuse of the law but I believe that people should be encouraged to keep off from crimes while the government must be encouraged to fight alleged criminals with the law irrespective of who the perpetrator is.

It is my opinion that Messrs Kanu, Dasuki and others should prepare their defence and prove their innocence before the judge.




May God Bless Us All and Bless Nigeria
Happy New Year 2016

@Tonybarcanista. Ar u a lawyer or a judge? How a can you call Dasuki a "big thief" when a competent court of law have not yet found him guilty. Please be careful., and in another development how can you say mr Nnamdi Kanu was begging for arms to wage war against Nigeria. Do u have evidence of that? Again please make proper research and come up with facts and figures here, so that u don't mislead anybody here. Thanks and hope u understand.

StunningCEO:


We warned them many times but they refused...the truth is that Kanu will be tried in court...and given the evidence...he will likely be convicted and sentenced to death...however at this point... ...people will step in and the government might commute it to life in prison...this is the best case scenario for the dumb man...he just ruined his life for nothing... muumuu leading muumuu...

I think the government should be encouraged to re-arrest him each time he's granted bail.
