Babatunde Gbadamosi, former
governorship candidate of the Action Democratic Party, ADP, in Lagos State, has
given real reason the federal government ordered the release of former National
Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki and convener of #RevolutionNow, Omoyele
Sowore.
The Minister of Justice and
Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, in a statement
released on Tuesday, ordered the release of Dasuki and Sowore.
Malami said the decision to
release Sowore and his co-accused was in compliance with the bail granted the
two by the court.
Sowore
has been in custody of the Department of State Service, DSS, since he called
for a revolution earlier in the year despite being granted bail by the court.
Gbadamosi, while reacting,
applauded the Federal Government over the release of Dasuki and Sowore from
‘illegal detention’
He, however, noted that their
release was vacillated to “divert attention of Nigerians from last night’s
unsuccessful attempt on the life of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.”
On his official Twitter page, he
wrote: “I cautiously celebrate the announcement that the FG has ordered the
release of Omoyele Sowore and Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd.) from illegal
detention by the DSS. My cautious approach is based on the diabolical
precedents of this tyrannical Buhari government.
“Thank God for the announcement
of the release of Sowore and Dasuki, but I cannot shake the feeling that it was
announced to divert attention from last night’s unsuccessful attempt on the
life of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.”
DAILY POST had reported that
unknown gunmen attacked the courtyard of former President Goodluck Jonathan
situated close to the bank of the river at Otuoke, Ogbia Local Government Area,
Bayelsa State on Tuesday
A soldier was killed while about
three of the gunmen were also killed by the soldiers, who foiled their attempt
to break into the former president’s house.
The gunmen were said to have come
through the river on five speedboats and opened fire on the soldiers.
