Mrs Otiti is standing trial alongside a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory , Jumoke Akinjide, and another PDP chieftain, Senator Ayo Ademola Adeseun, for alleged N650 million fraud.
The accused, who is on bail, filed an application seeking the release of her international passport for a foreign medical trip.“We have attached her medical report, dated July 11, 2018, from the University College Hospital , Ibadan, as well as her medical history from 2009 up till 2019 to prove the urgency of the matter,” Oladeji said.
In a counter-affidavit deposed to by one of its operatives, John Michael Idoko, the EFCC noted that the Federal High Court’s jurisdiction “does not extend beyond the shores of Nigeria”.It also noted that there was no referral note from any hospital recommending Mrs Otiti’s travel on medical ground. “There is no fact within the content of this application and the supporting documents filed by the applicant did not state reasonable ground for this honourable court to grant her application but only to cast doubt in the mind of the court due to its variation.
