ECOWAS

The Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African State has rejected the request by the ECOWAS Commission and its President to review the judgment that nullified the sack of a staff of the Commission, Suleiman Mohammad Hussaini.

The court had in 2022 held that the appointment of Hussaini, a Controller with the ECOWAS Commission, was illegally and unlawfully terminated by the Commission and its President. In a ruling on the application by the ECOWAS Commission seeking a review of the judgment against it, Justice Dupe Atoki held that the application was inadmissible and lacked merit.

Their grouse was that Hussaini was aware of the criminal charges brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission but concealed the charges and refused to bring it to the attention of the ECOWAS Commission. However Hussaini in opposition to the application for judgment review, asked for its dismissal on the ground that the request was inadmissible having fallen short of requirements under Article 25 of the 1999 Protocol and Articles 92 and 93 of the Court's Rules.
