A Nigerian court has approved a request for former Taraba State Governor Darius Ishaku to travel to the United Arab Emirates for spinal surgery. The Abuja High Court, presided over by Justice Sylvanus Oriji, granted the leave to allow Ishaku to undergo the procedure as recommended by his surgeon. The authorization is valid until October 5. Ishaku is currently facing charges from the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which alleges he diverted N27 billion. He was arraigned on September 30, 2024, along with former Permanent Secretary Bello Yero. His legal team had previously sought court approval for the overseas medical treatment, and the prosecution did not object to the application.
