Former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Mohammed Sambo
Dasuki (retd), has filed a suit against the federal government before
the ECOWAS Court in Abuja over his continued detention.
In the suit filed by his lawyer, Robert Emukpoeruo, Dasuki wants the court to declare among others, that his continued detention after been granted bail by three different courts and met the conditions for his release, was “unlawful, arbitrary and an egregious violation” of his human rights.
Daily Sun reports that the former NSA is demanding that the sum of N500 million damages be paid for alleged rights infringement.
Also, the former NSA wants the sub-regional court to declare that the alleged invasion of his privacy, home and correspondence at his Abuja and Sokoto residences on July 16 and 17, 2015 and the “forceful and unlawful seizure” of his properties, “without any lawful order or warrant” constituted a gross violation of his fundamental rights and offended the country’s treaty obligations as a signatory to the listed legal instruments.
