Human rights activist and senior lawyer, Femi Falana SAN has said that the federal government lacked the necessary legal grounds to detain former National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki and the Publisher of Saharareporters, Omoyele Sowore, despite court orders.
Malami who was refuting claims that the federal government had released Dasuki and Sowore because of international pressure particularly from the United States of America and the United Kingdom, claimed that the government had powers to continue to detain Dasuki and Sowore, having appealed the decison of the trial court.
“In support of the outlandish contention the Justice Minister said that the federal government was not bound to obey the court orders until the final determination of the appeals filed against the court orders”, Falana said in a statement made available to journalists. According to the statement, the Justice Minister said “There were appeals for stay of execution all through. So, until those matters reach the supreme court and the supreme court takes the final decision, relating there, you are still operating within the ambit and context of rule of law… So, in respect of those orders we are not comfortable with as a government, we go back to the court and have them challenged.
He recalled that Dasuki was granted bail at different times by six judges of the federal high court and the federal capital territory high court.
