Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has berated the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (San), for claiming that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government released Omoyele Sowore and Sambo Dasuki out of mercy and compassion.

 

Malami had said that Sowore and Dasuki were not released due to pressure from foreign countries while speaking with the BBC Hausa and the Hausa Service of the Voice of America.

 

However, Falana in a letter to the AGF, slammed him for failing to release Sowore despite meeting the bail conditions by two different judges.

 

He added that the refusal to release a defendant admitted to bail by a trial judge is tantamount to contempt of court.
