Court grants Fayose permission for overseas medical trip

A Federal High Court in Lagos has granted permission to a former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, to get medical treatment abroad.

The judge, C.J. Aneke, granted him the permission on Friday following an application by his lawyer, Ola Olanipekun.

The former governor is being tried by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for an alleged N2.2 billion fraud.

He was earlier granted medical-trip permits in July and in December 2019.

Fayose stirred controversy in the last trip after he was seen dancing salsa and posing for pictures at a relaxation spot when he was supposed to be receiving medical care.

He reacted to the controversy by saying he was on “medical check-up, not admission”.

The recent application was not opposed by Rotimi Jacobs, prosecuting counsel of the EFCC.
