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 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 taken aback when they were told that the much awaited 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.
