FFK Releases Statement… Says Buhari Trying To Kill Dasuki, Treated Kayode Are Unfairly & Many Other Allegations

The statement;

“I have just spoken to Colonel Kayode Are, the former D-G of
SSS during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration and the former Acting
National Security Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan and I am deeply
concerned. He told me that his house is under siege and that gunshots are being
fired at him and his family as we were speaking.

“I am not sure what the issue is about but a situation where
security men go to the home of a respected patriot like that and start shooting
at him and his family for whatever reason is unacceptable and extremely
dangerous. When you consider what is happening in Are’s home and marry with the
shameful manner in which Colonel Sambo Dasuki, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, Governor
Attahiru Bafawara, Alhaji Bashir Yuguda, Nnamdi Kanu, Godswill Orubebe, Bukola
Saraki, Sule Lamido and others are being persecuted, threatened and demonised
by the Federal Government it is clear that we are now in a police state in which
law and order has broken down and in which anything can happen.

“The case of Dasuki was particularly bad. He was barricaded
in his home against court orders and treated like an animal for three weeks. He
was humiliated and subjected to mental and psychological torture for no just
cause for that period of time even though the courts had told the SSS to let
him travel out of the country for urgent medical attention. Instead of doing so
after three tortuous weeks the SSS stormed his home, held everyone captive at
gunpoint, grabbed him in front of his family, bundled him in a car and carried
him to an unknown destination without any lawful authority or any arrest
warrant.

“As far as I am concerned they are trying to kill him simply
by denying him the right to see his doctors even though they know that he is
very sick. If this were not the case then why are they indulging in all this
dangerous and reckless drama. If they want to prosecute him that is fair enough
but at least they should ensure that he stays well and that he remains alive
and that they don’t kill him. You cannot prosecute a dead body and you cannot
charge a man to court after he is dead.

“I saw Dasuki on various occasions before his arrest and I
assure you that he really is very ill. What harm could have been done by
allowing him to see his doctor as the courts ordered? Does he not have the
right to live and get medical treatment? Is it not clear that there is more to
this than meets the eye? Why are people remaining silent when this is a clear
case of vendetta, vengeance, wickedness, injustice and a crude attempt to
destroy, silence and kill an innocent man ? It is Dasuki today but it could be
anyone else tomorrow.

“The truth is that the Buhari government is playing a
dangerous game of Russian roulette with a loaded gun and if they are not
careful it will soon explode. If they are not careful they will soon lose the
confidence and trust of the people. They do not fear God. They are vindictive,
petty, vicious, unforgiving and unjust and if they continue in this way apart
from alienating the people they run the risk of provoking the wrath of God.

“If they have any evidence of wrongdoing on the part of
Dasuki or anyone else then they should present it in court rather than on the
pages of newspapers and if they wish to charge anyone they should go ahead and
do so in a lawful, proper and civilized manner. The era of witchhunting and
demonising people and attempting to cower and subdue them into silence are long
over.

“Those of us that oppose this government can never be
intimidated or silenced because God is with us. If we could stand up against
military dictatorship in the past, we can stand up against civilian
dictatorship today. Anything outside of prosecuting people in a lawful manner
and according to due process is barbaric and unacceptable and our President
needs to be reminded that he is not running a military government but a
democratic one.

“This attempt to silence us with guns, bullets, threats of
arrest and prosecution, violence, storming of homes, locking up of relatives,
kidnapping of citizens, shameful lies, baseless allegations, demonisation in
the media and disinformation will not work. They do not have enough prisons to
silence the voice of the Nigerian people or to break their spirit and no-one is
intimidated by the governments evil tactics and wicked ways. My message to
President Buhari is simple and clear: stop terrorizing your own people and save
your terror waves and gestapo tactics for Boko Haram. “
