Buhari Refuses To Release 2 Illegal Detainees After Court Orders. Washingtonpost by henroe2k2(m): 2:36pm On Dec 31, 2015 |
. LAGOS, Nigeria — Nigeria ’ s government will not release two prominent detainees despite several court orders for their release , and will not comment on the situation of a third, wounded detainee , President Muhammadu Buhari said Wednesday . Buhari, a former military dictator who calls himself a born - again democrat , did not discuss the propriety of defying court orders when he spoke on national TV . “ If you see the atrocities these people committed against this country !” Buhari said in justification . “ We can ’ t allow them to jump bail. ” A Federal High Court set no bail conditions and ordered the unconditional release of Biafra separatist leader Nnamdi Kanu on Dec. 17 . Kanu was detained Oct . 17 on charges recently escalated to terrorism and financing terrorism . His cause led to a civil war that killed 1 million people in the 1960 s . Former national security adviser Sambo Dasuki was detained Nov. 4 after intelligence agents surrounded his home for days to prevent him from leaving the country after a court allowed him bail to seek medical care abroad . Dasuki is accused , among other things , of diverting $ 2 . 2 billion meant to buy arms to fight the Boko Haram Islamic uprising . Three courts have ordered his release on bail. “ What of the over two million people displaced, most of them orphans whose fathers have been killed?” Buhari asked . “ We cannot allow that. ” He refused to discuss the situation of Shiite leader Ibraheem Zakzaky , who was detained with four bullet wounds Dec . 14 in military raids that allegedly killed hundreds of his followers. The army said the raids and bulldozing of Zakzaky ’ s home and Shiite spiritual centers was a response to an alleged Shiite attempt to assassinate Nigeria ’ s army chief. Human Rights Watch has said the raid was unprovoked. Authorities have refused to allow anyone to see Zakzaky . Buhari said he would not comment until an investigation is complete .
