Mr Gambaryan\u2019s request could not be granted when he was still challenging the ruling on his earlier bail application at the Court of Appeal.<\/p>\n<p>The judge, who stressed that the defendant failed to withdraw his pending appeal against the earlier ruling on his bail application before filling another motion, said such an act amounted to an abuse of court process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no gainsaying on this leg alone that this application is bound to fail,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The judge, however, ordered the NCoS to refer Mr Gambaryan to any standard hospital in Abuja for a period of two to three days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gambaryan has been held at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja since his arraignment in April The Nigerian government has dropped all charges against Tigran Gambaryan, an executive at Binance Holdings, who has been facing money laundering trial from detention since April.
