Colonel Dasuki through his counsel, Mr Joseph Daudu, premised his application on the need to attend to urgent medical issues on Monday.
He urged the court to release his travel documents which had been deposited with the Deputy Registrar of the court.
Opposing the application, the Director of Public Prosecution, Mr Mohammed Diri, urged the court to reject the application on the grounds that the ex- NSA is still been investigated for offenses of money laundering.
He also told the court that Colonel Dasuki was released on bail only on the condition that his travel document be deposited with the court, as such, granting him the reliefs been sought would amount to granting him bail without any condition.
Colonel Dasuki is standing trial on a five-count charge of possession of illegal fire arms and money laundering, which he had denied.
He is also accused of being in possession of $150, 000 and over 37 million Naira in his residence in Sokoto.
The federal government last week filed an amended charge against the former National Security Adviser, after his arraignment on a one-count charge of unlawful possession of firearms without license.
