The embattled ex-governor, who is facing charges of laundering ₦80.2 billion filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), also wants the court to release his international passport, one of the conditions of his bail.
His lawyer, Joseph Daudu (SAN), presented the request during proceedings on Friday, June 27.
“He has medical needs to attend to during the period of the vacation. After eight years of not traveling, he needs to attend to certain aspects of his health,” Daudu said.
But EFCC’s lawyer, Kemi Pinheiro (SAN), pushed back. He told the court that the application was “technically incompetent” and amounted to an abuse of court process.
