Arrest of Kayode Are, Dasuki, Dokpesi, others: We will never be intimidated, God is with us – Fani Kayode

Fomer Spokesperson of past President Goodluck Jonathan’s Presidential Campaign Organization, Chief Femi Fani -Kayode has condemned the arrest of Col. Sambo Dasuki; Colonel Kayode, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, among others, just as he vowed to resist every move to rubbish PDP.

Fani-Kayode  took a swipe at President Muhammadu Buhari led government, described it as unforgiving, petty, unjust, vindictive in nature and above all, not God fearing, warning that if he continues the way he was presently going after those he perceived as his enemies and those who had worked with previous governments, especially Goodluck Jonathan, President Buhari runs the risk of provoking the wrath of God and man.

He told Journalists yesterday in Abuja, Chief Fani- Kayode said that President Muhammadu Buhari led government was playing a dangerous game of Russian roulette with a loaded gun, warning that if not properly handled and careful in the handling of the affairs of the country, the gun would soon explode

He went futher by saying he has  just spoken to Colonel Kayode Are, the former D-G of SSS during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration and the former Acting National Security Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan and I am deeply concerned. He told me that his house is under siege and that gunshots are being fired at him and his family as we were speaking.

“I am not sure what the issue is about but a situation where security men go to the home of a respected patriot like that and start shooting at him and his family for whatever reason is unacceptable and extremely dangerous. When you consider what is happening in Are’s home and marry with the shameful manner in which Colonel Sambo Dasuki, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, Governor Attahiru Bafawara, Alhaji Bashir Yuguda, Nnamdi Kanu, Godswill Orubebe, Bukola Saraki, Sule Lamido and others are being persecuted, threatened and demonised by the Federal Government it is clear that we are now in a police state in which law and order has broken down and in which anything can happen.

“The case of Dasuki was particularly bad. He was barricaded in his home against court orders and treated like an animal for three weeks. He was humiliated and subjected to mental and psychological torture for no just cause for that period of time even though the courts had told the SSS to let him travel out of the country for urgent medical attention. Instead of doing so after three tortuous weeks the SSS stormed his home, held everyone captive at gunpoint, grabbed him in front of his family, bundled him in a car and carried him to an unknown destination without any lawful authority or any arrest warrant.

“As far as I am concerned they are trying to kill him simply by denying him the right to see his doctors even though they know that he is very sick. If this were not the case then why are they indulging in all this dangerous and reckless drama. If they want to prosecute him that is fair enough but at least they should ensure that he stays well and that he remains alive and that they don’t kill him. You cannot prosecute a dead body and you cannot charge a man to court after he is dead.
