According to him,”The Federal Government won’t interfere in a judicial process that is solely responsible for the state government to take charge of.’’

He noted that the case of the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki and RevolutionNow convener, Omoyele Sowore were been prosecuted by the Federal Government.

It could be recalled that the duo were released on Tuesday.

The minister in a statement announcing their release advised them to observe the terms of their bail and refrain from engaging in any act that is inimical to public peace and national security as well as their ongoing trial “which will run its course in accordance with the laws of the land”.
