A west African regional court on Wednesday adjourned a ruling in a case in which Nigeria's former national security adviser Sambo Dasuki is challenging his detention by the country's secret police. The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Court had reserved a ruling until Wednesday after the submissions of both the prosecution and defence lawyers in the high-profile corruption trial. Dasuki, who served under the regime of former president Goodluck Jonathan until his defeat in the 2015 elections by President Muhammadu Buhari, had urged the regional court to void his detention since December by the Department of State Service (DSS).
