Darius Ishaku

The Federal Capital Territory High Court has granted former Taraba State Governor Darius Ishaku permission to travel to Dubai for medical surgery. The court set a return date before adjourning the hearing.

A prosecution witness in the Taraba local government funds misappropriation case testified to receiving N1.8bn, with transfers directed by superiors. He linked some funds to the state governor's residence during Governor Ishaku's tenure.
