Chief Olisa Metuh who is answering to a seven-count criminal charge bordering on alleged N400million fraud, had through an application dated May 16, prayed the court to allow him to visit the Royal London Hospital to take care of his deteriorating health.
He specifically urged trial Justice Okon Abang to grant him five weeks medical leave abroad, as well as to order the Deputy Chief Registrar of the high court to release the international passport he surrendered as part of the conditions upon which he was granted bail on January 19.
Metuh’s lead counsel, Dr. Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN, adduced four exhibits he prayed the court to consider and grant the request.
Among the exhibits included an MRI report which he said indicated that Metuh’s spinal column “are rapidly compressing”, a development he said has necessitated an immediate surgery.
