Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described the arresttoday, of the immediate past National Security Adviser (NSA), ColSambo Dasuki (rtd) by men of the Department of State Services (DSS),as continuation of President Buhari’s regime of vengeance,saying “disobeying court order and later arresting and detaining thesame person the court ordered to be allowed to travel abroad formedicare is the peak of dictatorship.”
Governor Fayose, who reiterated his support for the fight againstcorruption, maintained that it must be done within the ambit of thelaw and must not be used to seek vengeance.He declared support for Dasuki’s demand for an open trial as againstthe federal government’s demand for a secret trial.

In a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti today his Special Assistant onPublic Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayosesaid “after flagrantly disobeying court orders, whatever that is doneor said by the Buhari-led government concerning Sambo Dasuki willappear vindictive and it remains to be seen how a government thatrefused to obey the court will now charge Dasuki to the same court.”

He called for caution on the information being giving by the federalgovernment to the public on its anti-corruption, saying trying peoplein the media as being done by the federal government was dangerous todemocracy and rule of law.

The governor said; “Again, is it the duty of the DSS to investigatefraud? If Dasuki committed fraud as being alleged, why not let theappropriate government agency handle his matter? Why first torturinghim emotionally with the DSS siege on his house? “My position is that, since the federal government said report of itspanel indicted Dasuki, why arresting and detaining him? Why not chargehim to court so that he can also accept quilt or defend himself?”
