Justice Musa Kakaki ordered the Ikoyi Custodial Centre to give him unrestricted access to doctors and specialists, and directed an accelerated trial scheduled to resume on November 2. KC Luxury and two co-defendants face charges brought by Nigeria’s anti-drug agency over an alleged attempt to export 184.5 kilograms of cocaine to the United Kingdom and alleged money laundering; all have pleaded not guilty.
