The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Tuesday re-arraigned former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose for alleged money laundering before a new Judge.
The court granted his application for permission to travel abroad for medical attention as he said he was sick.
It followed the re-assignment of the case to Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke after the prosecution expressed loss of confidence in Justice Mojisola Olatoregun, who was previously handling it.
The case was re-assigned after 13 witnesses had testified.
Fayose’s lawyer Ola Olanipekun (SAN) pleaded with the judge to enable the former governor travel abroad for medical treatment.
Justice Aneke granted the application and ordered that Fayose must return his international passport to the court on or before September 16.
He adjourned until September 16 to 19 for trial.
