After being detained for close to one year, there were indications that former National Security Adviser to ex- President Goodluck Jonathan, Sambo Dasuki may be released soon.
His release follows the ECOWAS court ruling, which ordered the federal government to release Dasuki immediately and compensate him with a sum of N15 million for his extended incarceration without bail.
The court according to News 24 declared the arrest and detention of Dasuki, as unlawful and arbitrary
