The ECOWAS Court has dismissed an application filed by former National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki seeking an order compelling the Nigerian government to enforce its judgment delivered in his favour on 4 October 2016.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the court had in the judgement declared Mr Dasuki’s arrest and detention by the Nigerian government unlawful and a violation of his rights.
The judge rapporteur, Sengu Koroma, while delivering judgment in Abuja on Mr Dasuki’s application for enforcement, dismissed it on the grounds that the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain or enforce the earlier judgment.
