A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has granted former Imo state
governor of Imo, Ikedi Ohakim, permission to travel abroad for medical
treatment. Ohakim, who is standing trial on corruption and money
laundering charges, applied for permission from the court to travel
abroad to seek medical attention.
The presiding judge, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba granted
the permission following an application made by Ohakim’s counsel, Gordy
Uche (SAN).
Ohakim is expected to return his passport to the registrar of the court not later than 48 hours upon his return next month.
