Dasuki's detention: ECOWAS court adjourns judgment indefinitely

The Economic Community of West African States, (ECOWAS) Community Court of Justice has adjourned indefinitely judgment in the case of former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) against the Federal Government in which he challenged his unlawful 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 yesterday after taking final argument from Dasuki’s lawyer Mr. Robert Emukperuo and government lawyer Mr. Tijani Gazali.
However, journalists, lawyers and other observers were surprised when they stormed the regional court in Abuja and were told that the verdict of the court 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.
