Counsel to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Fatima Addo, said she would not object to the application since it was based on health ground.
Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, thereafter, granted the motion since it was not opposed by the rosecution.
Dikko, who was head of the Nigeria Air Force from September 9, 2010 to October 4, 2012, is facing a seven-count charge of money laundering before the court.
