The Oby Ezekwesili led Bring Back Our Girls group, says former National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki (retired) who is facing corruption charges deserves to be tried for treason instead.
The former Minister of Education, Ezekwesili who led members of the group to a meeting with the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, on Tuesday also advised the government not to consider the plea bargain option for those who may indicted after the case has been heard.
“We suggest that all the companies Col. Dasuki, the ex NSA shared money through, for instance be investigated. If for example, their taxes are not up to date, they and their directors should be gone after. US, for example, mafia leaders are often nailed in for the tax evasion when charges of their criminal activities can’t be proven.”
The group also called for the release of soldiers currently serving various jail terms over their refusal to fight Boko Haram based on the recent interview in which President Muhammadu Buhari admitted that the men mutinied because they were sent to the war from without arms and ammunition.
The Bring Back Our Girls campaigners have been at the forefront of the campaign for the rescue of over two hundred Chibok, Borno State school girls kidnapped by Boko Haram on April, fourteen, twenty-fourteen.
