Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on Friday, granted the request by a former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke, to travel to the United States for medical attention.
The judge granted the request while ruling on an application filed by the ex-minister.
Ekwo, who ordered the release of Adoke’s international passport to enable him process his visa, directed him to return it within three days of his return to the country.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arraigned the ex-AGF alongside a businessman, Aliyu Abubakar, for alleged money laundering in August 2020.
The duo were linked to the Process and Industrial Development (P&ID) gas processing and supply contract scam
