West African States,
ECOWAS, on Tuesday declared the arrest and
detention of former National Security Adviser,
Sambo Dasuki , as unlawful and arbitrary.>
Delivering judgement today in a suit filed by
Dasuki, the court ruled that the further arrest
of Dasuki by security agents on November
4th last year after he was granted bail by a
court of law, amounts to a mockery of
democracy and the rule of law.
Dasuki who is currently being tried for
allegedly squandering $2.1 billion arms deal
fund during the last administration, had
dragged the Federal government before the
court to seek redress over his arrest and
continued detention despite meeting his bail
conditions. The court in its ruling today,
ordered the Federal government to pay N15
million to Dasuki in damages.
