ECOWAS Court Adjourns Dasuki's Detention Judgment Indefinitely

The Economic Community of West African States, (ECOWAS) Community Court of Justice today adjourned indefinitely the case of former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) against the Federal Government.

The former National Security Adviser had challenged his detention by government since December 2015 in the custody of the Department of the State Security Service (DSS).

The court, presided over by Justice Friday Nwoke had on May 16 reserved judgment till today after taking final argument from Dasuki’s lawyer Mr. Robert Emukperuo and Government's lawyer Mr. Tijani Gazali.

However, journalists, lawyers and other observers who stormed the regional court in Abuja were shocked as the much anticipated court verdict was not ready and that the new date for the judgment would be communicated to lawyers when ready.
Dasuki had dragged the Federal Government before the ECOWAS Court praying the regional court to intervene in his detention without trial since December last year.
