The Federal High Court in Lagos on Wednesday ordered the release of the passport of a former Minister of State for Finance, Nenadi Usman, to enable her travel to the United States of America to seek medical attention.
Usman, who is being tried for an alleged N4.9bn fraud, had told the court that she was suffering from breast cancer.
Justice Rilwan Aikawa, in a ruling on Wednesday, gave Usman permission to travel for three weeks between July and August to the US but ordered her to surrender her passport to the court not later than August 31, 2017.
