Those who committed serious crimes against the state cannot be allowed to enjoy freedom, says President Muhammadu Buhari.
This according to him justifies the continued detention of the former National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki and founder of Radio Biafra, Mr Nnamdi Kanu despite the bail granted them by courts of competent jurisdiction.
Speaking at his maiden Presidential Media Chat on Wednesday, Buhari said that given the seriousness of the charges against the accused, they could jump bail if granted temporary freedom.
His words ;
“Technically if you see the kinds of atrocities those people committed against the country. If they jump bail, see the former President wrote to the governor of Central Bank and said give N40bn to so so and so, and then he gives account and you release him to go and see his doctors in London, while about 2 million IDPs who don’t even know their parents; what kind of country is that?
“And the one you are calling Kanu, do you know he had two passports, one Nigerian, one British, and he came into the country without any. Do you know he brought an equipment into this country and was broadcasting, Radio Biafra. Which kind of government do you think should harbor that kind of person? There is a treasonable felony against him and and I hope the court will listen to the case.”
