Despite his brother’s release, Sweezy claimed the family’s ordeal is not yet over. He alleged that Senator Ned Nwoko played a role in Sammy’s initial arrest and was still using his influence to orchestrate a possible re-arrest.
According to him, Ned allegedly involved the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in the matter a move he described as both “unlawful” and “vindictive.”
Sweezy further stated:
“Ned has also paid NDLEA to have Sammy picked up into their custody. But a magistrate court does not have jurisdiction over drug-related cases, only a federal high court.”
He went on to argue that the transfer of the case to the NDLEA was a breach of legal procedure, stressing that only a Federal High Court has the authority to preside over drug-related offenses.
The Daniels family has called on the public and relevant authorities to ensure justice and fairness as the situation continues to unfold.
