SAN FRANCISCO, October 12, (THEWILL) – The Supreme Court has adjourned till January 25 hearing on the appeal filed by the detained former National Security Adviser, NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.) against the Federal Government.

Though he was released on bail by the three courts, Dasuki has been in detention since November 3, 2015.

The ex-NSA was on December 29, 2015, re-arrested by operatives of the Department of State Services, DSS, immediately he was released from Kuje Prison upon perfecting all his bail conditions.
