Lamido, who spoke with The Guardian in a telephone conversation, yesterday, maintained that the incarceration of the former NSA was as a result of personal misunderstanding between Dasuki and President Muhammadu Buhari. And after, he was formally arraigned, thus making his case a subject of the law. For him to be detained a day longer after the court granted him bail was illegal, unconstitutional and very primitive of the government to do so. “So, the case of Dasuki was not ab initio, based on any missing money or corruption,” he said. Detaining Dasuki in spite of court ruling is his own trademark, his own character and judgment.
