Lawyer Confirms That Col. Sambo Dasuki Has Fufilled Bail Rights, Awaiting Release Any Moment From Now
The detained former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.),
has met all the bail conditions imposed on him by the Federal High Court in
Abuja on July 2, 2018, his lawyer, Mr. Ahmed Raji (SAN) confirmed today.
Raji disclosed that a letter by the Deputy Chief Registrar
of the Federal High Court confirming that Dasuki had fulfilled all the bail
conditions would today (Tuesday) be presented to the Department of State Service (DSS)
which has been holding him in custody since December 29, 2015
Raji’s text message sent to news men read , “The letter written by DCR
confirming that all conditions for the bail have been met will be delivered to
DSS this morning.
“Upon delivery of the letter, the DSS is to
release him in line with the order of the court.”
We recalls
that Federal High Court in Abuja had on July 2 granted bail to Dasuki from the
custody of the Department of State Service, where he had been detained for two
and a half years.
Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, who granted bail to Dasuki in the sum of N200m with two
sureties in like sum, ruled that “the long and continued detention” of the
applicant since December 29, 2015, could not be justified.
Although
the judge rejected Dasuki’s prayer for a public apology and an award of N5bn
compensation, she rejected all the grounds canvassed by the three respondents
to justify the ex-NSA’s continued detention.
