After DSS arrest, Justice Ademola withdraws from Dasuki’s trial
Justice Adeniyi Ademola, the judge in the case against the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, has withdrawn from the cases.
Ademola, one of seven judges arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) on allegations of corruption, claimed that he was being harassed and intimidated by the service.
He cited allegations of corruption by DSS against him, which is prosecuting Dasuki’s case, as the reason for his action.
The judge claimed that he was being harassed and intimidated for granting bail to Dasuki and Nnamdi Kanu, the Director of Radio Biafra.

Bye Bye to CORRUPTION

Yes, if we don’t get it right with Buhari who else can we trust o
Having agreed with the above though, we must not give the DSS a carte’ blanche’ power to re-write the Constitution on search and seizure. They have to play it to the Books.
Partners in crime.
We will review and take appropriate action.
