RELEASE OF SOWORE/DASUKI: TIMI FRANK LAUDS USA...... America, True Police of The World

"It is a shame that this government cannot put its house in order, they speak from both sides of the mouth as they are clueless"..... Frank

"The fear of the police of the world made you release Sowore".


Following the release of Omoyele SOWORE, Convener of the #RevolutionNow and former National Security Adviser, NSA, during the Goodluck Jonathan administration, Col. Sambo Dasuki (Retd) on Christmas eve, Nigerians have continued to react.

Prominent political activist and former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Timi Frank has commended the senators of the United States of America and the America government for putting pressures on the Nigerian government for the release of Omoyele Sowore and by extension, Colonel Sambo Ibrahim Dasuki, (Retd).

The very vocal and consistent activist also thanked all Nigerians, especially human Rights lawyer, Femi Falana, who stood up to fight for justice even in the mist of threat to their lives, saying posterity will judge all of them, favorably.

According to Frank, if not for the pressure by the USA government and some of its Senators, Sowore would still be languishing in the DSS detention without charge.

The political activist, however, declared that "truly the American government is the police of the world".

Timi Frank made his reaction known on Christmas Day through a statement in Abuja concerning the release of both Sowore and Dasuki.

In the statement, Frank asked General Buhari's government to apologise to the duo for trampling on their rights.

He also called on the USA, EU, UN and all lovers of democracy, including Nigerians in diaspora to put more pressure on the Nigerian government to release other political prisoners, saying; "General Buhari's government has succeeded in oppressing its citizens. No more freedom of speech and the right to assemble".

"Just a few days ago, General Buhari/APC thugs beat Deji Adeyanju to stupor for protesting against the continued detention of Sowore, yet the ruling party had the nerve to accuse the opposition party of masterminding the attack. Indeed, this government is not only clueless but shameless", he stated.

"I appeal to the USA, EU and all democratic countries where rule of law applies, to issue visa ban on the government officials of this clueless government whose stock in trade is to disobey court orders that don’t favor them, oppress Nigerians by depriving them of their fundamental Human Rights to associate and express themselves freely. This government is very powerful when it comes to oppressing innocent Nigerians but very weak when it comes to fighting corruption and insurgency".

"No government has disgraced and embarrassed Nigeria before the international community like Buhari's government/ It took the USA Senators to speak out before sowore was released while our Nigerian Senators are busy rubber stamping all Buhari's request to the senate".

"I call on the USA government, despite the blackmail, to do more to ensure that other political detainees and journalists are freed".

"Sowore, like Dasuki were granted bail by courts of competent jurisdiction but the tyrant General Buhari and the cabal decided to flout the order. Dasuki spent four (4) years in DSS detention despite several bail granted by the courts while Sowore was rearrested a day after he was granted bail without charges".

"It is a shame that this government cannot put its house in order, they speak from both sides of the mouth as they are clueless".

"Just last week, the AGF Malami said he cannot order the DSS to release Sowore without recourse to the court, yet a week later, he ordered the same DSS to release Sowore.

"What has changed in a week to make the AGF order the DSS to release Sowore? It is the pressure from the international community, especially the American senators and the USA government that compelled this clueless government to release Sowore".

"A few days ago, Femi Adesina, the spokesperson of General Buhari said nobody appointed the USA the police of the world, yet a few days later, they have not only released Sowore but, they also released Dasuki and the AGF suddenly remembered that he can appeal their bail. The fear of the police of the world made you release Sowore", Frank stated.
