The Federal Capital Territory High Court has granted former Taraba State Governor Darius Ishaku permission to travel abroad for medical treatment, according to Naija News. The court approved his request to proceed to Dubai for surgery, a move linked to ongoing legal proceedings.
Ishaku's travel permission was granted as part of a judicial process currently before the court. The judge overseeing the case adjourned the hearing until 5 October, by which time Ishaku is required to return to Nigeria, Premium Times reported. The order underscores the conditional nature of the travel approval.
The court did not disclose detailed medical information about Ishaku’s condition, nor did it elaborate on the specific legal charges pending against him. However, the ruling allows for medical intervention abroad under judicial supervision. No opposition to the travel request was reported in court during the hearing.
The decision reflects a balance between the defendant’s health needs and the integrity of the judicial process. Ishaku’s case is set to resume after the adjournment date, when his physical presence will be required. Further details about the underlying case have not been made public.
