The Court of Appeal has again granted bail to a former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
The court also ordered the federal government to pay Mr Dasuki N5
million for holding him against the provisions of section 35 (6) of the
constitution which gives every Nigerian the right to free movement.
Mr Dasuki has been held by security operatives since December 2015 when
he was arrested on allegations he diverted $2.1 billion from funds meant
for the war against terrorism.
Several court orders for the release of the former NSA had been flouted by the Nigerian government.
