The embattled lawmaker was arraigned before the court on May 2 on charges bordering on his alleged escape from a police vehicle in Abuja on April 24, 2018.
Ruling on the matter, the presiding Magistrate, Mabel Segun-Bello held that Melaye be allowed to travel.
Segun-Bello ruled that since Melaye’s health condition existed before the case was filed and the appointment at the hospital predated the trial, there was no need for a referral letter.
She ordered that Melaye’s international passport be released and be allowed to travel out of the country for treatment for a period of 20 days.
The Magistrate, however, ordered that Melaye returns the international passport to the custody of the Commissioner of Police of the FCT upon his return.
