Senator demands fair trial for 'anti government' lecturer

Senator Danjuma Laah of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, representing Kaduna South Senatorial Zone, has called for a fair trial of outspoken perceived anti-government Political Science teacher at the Kaduna State University, KASU, Dr. John Danfulani.

The lecturer whose detention had generated a lot of controversy was granted bail on Monday by a Kaduna Chief Magistrate Court with stringent conditions.

Senator Laah in a statement issued on Monday cautioned against denying the fiery teacher a fair trial.

“I have been observing the circumstances and other developments before and after the arrest of Dr. Johh Danfulani. I want to say that there has been a lot of politics and social uproar that this has attracted.

“As the Senator who represents Danfulani at the Senate, I am watching how the judiciary is handling this case. Without prejudice to the competence of our Judicial arm of government in Kaduna State, I want to caution that political and social pressure should not come to bear on him to deny him fair trial, " he said.
