Shehu Sani, former Kaduna Central Senator, has described the immediate order by the Federal Government for the release of former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki and convener of #RevolutionNow, Omoyele Sowore, as a \u201cwelcome development.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

In a statement released on Tuesday, the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami, ordered the release of Dasuki and convener of #RevolutionNow, Omoyele Sowore.<\/p>\n

This is coming few weeks after Malami took over the case of Sowore from DSS.<\/p>\n

The decision to release Sowore and his co-accused was in compliance with the bail granted the two by the court.<\/p>\n

Dasuki\u2019s lawyer in a terse statement, also commended President Muhammadu Buhari and the AGF for the decision.<\/p>\n

But, Sani in his reaction, called on Buhari government to extend its decision to other Nigerians in detention.<\/p>\n

On his Twitter page, Sani wrote: \u201cFreedom for Dasuki and Sowore in compliance with the Court orders is a welcome Development.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd that should be extended to others in same condition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recall that IMN leader, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky has been in detention since December 2015 after the Nigerian Army\u2019s onslaught on his members that led to the Zaria massacre.<\/p>\n

Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, had days ago said the IMN leader, Sheikh Ibraheem Zakzaky, is being held in detention for crimes and not his Islamic belief.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
