The Ekiti state Governor, Ayo Fayose, has criticised President Buhari and the Department of State Services (DSS) over the arrest of the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

Fayose, in a statement released by his media aide-Lere Olayinka, said “after flagrantly disobeying court orders, whatever that is done or said by the Buhari-led government concerning Sambo Dasuki will appear vindictive and it remains to be seen how a government that refused to obey the court will now charge Dasuki to the same court.”

“Again, is it the duty of the DSS to investigate fraud? If Dasuki committed fraud as being alleged, why not let the appropriate government agency handle his matter? Why first torturing him emotionally with the DSS siege on his house?"

“My position is that, since the federal government said report of its panel indicted Dasuki, why arresting and detaining him? Why not charge him to court so that he can also accept guilt or defend himself?” he added.
