Bello Seeks Court’s Permission for Medical Treatment Abroad


A former chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees,  Haliru Mohammed Bello, has applied to the Federal High Court in Abuja for permission to travel abroad for medical treatment.

However, he did not disclose the nature of his ailment in the application filed by his lawyer, Kanu Agabi (SAN.

The ex-minister, his son, Abbah and their company, BAM Projects Limited are arraigned on a four-count charge of money laundering.


They are accused of receiving N300 million from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) for security purposes, which they allegedly diverted for other purposes.

The court, as part of conditions for their bail, directed that they deposit their travel passports with the court and should always apply to the court of their release, when any of them intends to travel abroad.

Agabi on Thursday informed the court about his client’s bid to travel abroad for treatment and sought a date for its hearing.


Justice Ahmed Mohammed fixed March 23 for the hearing of the application. He also adjourned further hearing on the case to that date.
