The Justice Ademola Adeniyi-led Federal High Court, Abuja, has ordered the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to release the international passport of the immediate past National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, to enable him seek medical treatment abroad.
According to the court, the Prosecuting Counsel was not able to prove why he should be stopped from travelling abroad for medical treatment.
The Federal Government Monday, November 2, opposed an application by the former NSA, to be allowed to travel abroad for medical treatment.
Dasuki, who is facing a five-count charge bordering on alleged illegal possession of firearms and money laundering, is seeking the permission of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja to go for a three week medical check-up outside the country.
In the application he moved through his lawyer, Joseph Daudu, Dasuki urged the trial Justice to order the release of the travelling documents he surrendered to the Deputy Chief Registrar of the High Court.
The court had on September 1, granted the embattled former NSA bail on self-recognition after he deposited his international passport.
Daudu had informed the court that his client was suffering from a sickness that would require attention of his medical doctors abroad, pledging that the passport would be returned to the court after the three week treatment period.
