Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki says there is no need to submit himself for prosecution since the federal government does not obey court orders.
His position was contained in a letter dated November 12, addressed to the court 5 registrar of the Abuja Federal High Court.
The former NSA is standing trial for alleged illegal possession of firearms and diverting $2.1 billion from his office.
The retired colonel who was arrested in 2015 by the Department of State Services (DSS) has been granted bail six times but he has not been released.
Dasuki said the government’s decision to continue detaining him despite several court orders “is wrong and arbitrary”.
“The resolve to continue detaining me, against the several orders of court and in brazen violation of the constitution is wrong and arbitrary. It has inflicted physical, emotional and psychological torture on my family and me,” he said.
“The decision of the federal government of Nigeria is not only high-handed, it is also arbitrary and in violation of both domestic and international laws on human rights.
