The ECOWAS Court has dismissed an application filed by former National Security Adviser, retired Col. Sambo Dasuk., praying the court to compel Nigeria to enforce its judgment delivered in his favour on Oct. 4, 2016.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the court had in the judgment declared Dasuki's arrest and detention by the Nigeria n government unlawful and a violation of his rights.
"Having thoroughly assessed the claims and constitutive texts of the Court, it lacks the competence to adjudicate the present claim," the court said. It, therefore, ordered the release of all the seized properties of the applicant, as well as the payment of N15, 000,000 damages to him.
