They should let my trial start in earnest to enable Nigerians know the truth from falsehood. I don\u2019t believe in secret trial and there is no basis for it because the government has filed all necessary papers in court and attached the list of witnesses. Since the witnesses have become public knowledge, there is no basis for secret trial. Since I was detained in the custody of the Department of State Service (DSS), I have not been shown any warrant to this effect or court order. I deserve to be shown the warrant of detention by DSS and the purpose for restricting me to house arrest. My detention is unlawful. All those who collected funds from ONSA have been granted bail but I am still in custody. I have been granted bail on all the cases filed against me by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and even DSS, but I have not been released. If all the beneficiaries of the so-called funds are on bail, what have I done wrong? Nigerians should help prevail on the government to grant me bail. I cannot rock the boat. I am prepared for trial. We did everything with national and securityinterest&#8221;, he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\" style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; line-height: 20.592px; widows: auto; background-color: #ffffff;\"><p>The Nation<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>\u200bThe ex\u00a0National Security Adviser (NSA) Col.
