As you spend your third year in illegal detention since December 2015, I am using this memo to intimate you about the brutal assassination of former CDS, Alex Badeh by gunmen. He was expected to open his defence next month January 16, 2019 in the trial of alleged criminal breach of trust.
The arrested Fulani criminals in their chilling and graphic confessions admitted to raping, killing and even drinking the blood of some of their victims, sometimes after collecting the ransoms.
May your days in court offer you the opportunity to clear your name from malicious allegations and to enable you to provide concrete evidence of your stewardship as NSA who ensured efficient inter-agency collaboration for national stability and national security.
With due respect to my elder, I have been thoroughly embarrassed and even shocked that Mallam Garba has been misled in joining the bandwagon of those attacking former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki blindly and baselessly.
Since NIA has claimed ownership of the money, was the EFCC misled? Is the mysterious whistle-blower a character in the inter-agency rivalry? Or is it another counter-intelligence by another foreign secret service against Nigeria?
The Army boss should be wary of busy-body consultants and lawyers who may wish to profit from the crisis by instigating him to take irrational steps against the media. No one fights the press publicly, especially credible media, in attempt to enforce censorship, not self-censorship, and get away with it unscathed.
During Sambo Dasuki as NSA these 24 towns were liberated before handing over to President Buhari on May 29, 2015: Abadam, Askira, Baga, Bama, Bara, Buni Yadi, Damboa, Dikwa, Gamboru-Ngala, Goniri, Gujba, Gulag, Gulani, Gwoza, Hong, Kala Balge, Konduga, Kukawa, Marte, Madagali, Michika, Monguno, Mubi, Vimtim
It is also a crime to criminalize innocent officials that are not convicted by a competent court of law. Majority of officers that served in the previous administration are also serving in the current administration diligently and responsibly unless they are recently retired. Terrorism issues should not be politicised, because history is the best judge even if some are forgetful.

Such editorial decisions erode public trust in the media and deepen societal divisions. The press should serve as a bridge between Nigerias diverse communities, not a wedge.
