The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) spokesman, Olisa Metuh, on Thursday asked a Federal High Court, Abuja, for permission to travel to the United Kingdom for five weeks on medical ground.
The request is contained in an application filed by Metuh’s lawyer, Emeka Etiaba (SAN), seeking the release of his client’s travel passport for that purpose.
The court had, while admitting Metuh to bail on January 19 this year, ordered him to submit his passport to the court as part of the conditions for the bail granted him.
The court allowed him the freedom to apply for its release when he intends to travel.
In the application, Metuh said his decision to seek treatment abroad was informed by the advice of a neurosurgeon at the National Hospital, Abuja, following the injury he reportedly sustained after falling from a chair at the party’s national secretariat on April 26.
