The Federal government has given an
explanation as to why it has not obeyed
yesterday's judgement by the Court of the
Economic Community of West African States,
ECOWAS, ordering it to immediately release
the former National Security Adviser, Sambo
Dasuki, who has been in detention since last
year over allegations of misappropriation of
$2.1 billion arms fund.
Delivering judgement on a Fundamental
Human rights suit filed by Dasuki, the court
ruled that his arrest, detention and continued
detention, was unlawful and arbitrary.
Speaking on the judgement, the Special
Adviser, Media and Publicity to the Attorney
General of the Federation and Minister of
Justice, Abubakar Malami, Salihu Isah, told
Premium Times in an interview that the
Federal government was still understudying
the judgement.
“We cannot just react. We will first of
all study the judgement to understand
it’s content before taking a stand” he
said
