‘N2.9bn fraud’: Court grants Rochas Okorocha permission to travel abroad for medical treatment
A federal high court in Abuja has granted permission to Rochas Okorocha, former governor of Imo, to travel to the United Kingdom for medical attention.
Ola Olanipekun, Okorocha’s counsel, told the court that his client has been having health challenges.
The senior advocate prayed the court to allow Okorocha to travel for medical attention with a promise that the senator representing Imo west would return to continue his trial.
In a ruling delivered on Wednesday, Inyang Ekwo, the judge, granted the defendant permission to travel and ordered the registrar of the court to release his passport.
Ekwo ordered Okorocha to return the passport to the court registrar no later than three days after his return to Nigeria.
The judge held that he would declare Okorocha wanted if he attempts to abuse the favour granted him.
The judge then fixed November 7 for the continuation of trial.
