The Economic Community of West Africa State (ECOWAS) Court has again ordered immediate release of former National Security Adviser (NDA) Muhammadu Sambo Dasuki from detention where he has been kept without trial since December 2015.
The regional court held that the detention of Dasuki violated both national and international laws on the right of persons and citizens to freedom of liberty.
In a judgement by the court and delivered by Justice Friday Chijioike Nwoke, the ECOWAS Court imposed a fine of N15,000,000 against Nigeria as compensatory damages to the former National Security Adviser for the deprivation of his freedom to liberty and the deprivation of his properties.
