FG given 24 hours to explain why Dasuki is still in detention

Sambo Dasuki

The Nigerian government has been given ‘one day’ to explain why former National Security Adviser (NSA) Colonel Mohammed Sambo Dasuki (rtd) has been in detention since December 2015.

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Court gave the order on Tuesday, while hearing Dasuki’s suit challenging his detention and infringement on his fundamental human rights.

Presiding judge of the regional court, Justice Friday Chijioke Nwoke, said, “having listened to parties in this matter and the parties having filed and put all necessary documents and exhibits at the disposal of this court and having granted accelerated hearing in this matter, it is in the interest of justice that this case must be expeditiously dealt with.”

“In this regard, the plaintiff is hereby ordered to make out his case on Wednesday, May 18 and the defendant to ventilate its defense the following day, May 19 after which we will adjourn for judgment.”
