According to Vanguard,an Abuja High Court sitting at Jabi has ordered the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, and the Nigerian Army, to forthwith, release Col. Nicholas Ashinze, a former aide to the erstwhile National Security Adviser, NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), who has been in detention since December 23, 2015.
In a
judgment on Monday, Justice Yusuf Haliru, directed the respondents to
immediately release the applicant on self-recognition, saying his detention for
over three months without trial, was “illegal, wrongful, unlawful and
constituted a blatant violation of the fundamental rights of the applicant”.

agency seized from the house of the applicant.
