Olisa Metuh's Family Releases Statement On His Arrest By EFCC by KingEbukasBlog(m): 7:16pm On Jan 07, 2016 |
Read statement released by the family : The Metuh family - the Obi-Ezeani-Nnewi- has noted with grave concern the continued incarceration of their Diokpa and spokesperson of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Olisa Metuh (Ugochidebelu Nnewi) since his arrest Tuesday by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Whereas the charges for which Chief Metuh is being detained for over 48 hours now have not been formally made known to the family and the general public, we have noted some sensational publications in a section of the media claiming that our son collected the sum of N1.4 billion from the arms deal cash and has been collecting N4 million monthly as from the Office of the former National Security Adviser. We have confronted our son with this allegations and he assured us that they are completely false. However, he acknowledged that in the course of his duties as the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, the then leader of the party and President of the country directed him to carry out some urgent national assignment relating to his office, which the former President duly funded and which he duly carried out to the satisfaction of the former President. The family therefore views the publications bandying the figure of N1.4 billion and alleged collection of N4 million stipend from the Office of the NSA as deliberate blackmail aimed at inflaming public sentiments against our son. Our biggest concern for now is the health and safety of our son, who even before his arrest has alerted the nation about various threats to his life, a stance that is not unconnected to his position as the spokesperson of the opposition. Our position is more so as he has refused to eat following fears of intentions to poison him in detention. In view of the above therefore, we DEMAND that the EFCC immediately release our son, Chief Metuh (Ugochidebelu Nnewi) from detention or charge him to court. Signed: Chief Gilbert Metuh, for and on behalf of The Obi-Ezeani- Nnewi Source :http://www.kingebuka.com/2016/01/olisas-metuhs-family-releases-statement.html cc: lalasticlala, mynd44 8 Likes 1 Share |

Nonsense write-up Diokpa ko, okpa-eyin ni. They confronted him as if they are not beneficiaries (directly or indirectly) of the said amount. In a matter of time, those people that initiated this letter would be guests at EFCC 146 Likes 5 Shares |

It is expected. Dasuki's wife also asked for his release as well. But I bet you he has found his new home. Abeg nairalanders what is happening this days. Its like I'm not hearing Fayoshe and Fani Kayode anymore at all. Are they just realising from Metuh case that no amount of pre emptive shout can stop their case if found culprit of anything 88 Likes 1 Share |

Keneking:keep promoting lopsided hearing thinking u are anti corruption. Chanji is a scam and the propaganda won't stand fair trial. If found guilty let the law takes it cause. The emotion being displayed by many sai baba zombies is understandable cos buhari himself displayed such. 25 Likes |

I thought some IPOB Youths claimed that Metuh gave up the ghost this morning? IPOB Youths and lies are Siamese twins. Coming back to the rubbish statement from his family, what do we expect from family of a goat that ate Nigeria's yam? They also benefited from the yam so they will naturally protest Nigeria is no longer under the Ogogoro merchant called Jonadunce, we have a new sheriff in town. A man that hates corruption. If not for the eagle eyed EFCC officials, Olisa Metuh would have been in St Kitt by now enjoying our yam. The family should relax, this is a long term investigation. EFCC has secured 14 days for questioning and this can be renewed as many times as needed till Metuh vomits the Yam. Nigeria shall be great! 133 Likes 11 Shares |

Dasuki's family and even pdp been release press statement too. I'm not surprised. Besides, when he was busy carrying out GEJ's task satisfactorily, sharing the cash meant for soldiers, his family didn't release any press statement 59 Likes 2 Shares |

I love Buhari. A part of him we thought was lost in the military uniform has resurfaced. I have always wanted a leader who would not just fight corruption, but will fight it with fury. "Baba go slow" has now turned to cries of "Baba slow down". I have stolen nothing so I fear nothing. 91 Likes 9 Shares |

I don't know why some think that their opinions matter in the new scheme of things in Nigeria. There is a new sheriff so get used to it. Meanwhile EFCC has just gotten a court order demanding for his detention so he's not coming back very soon. You can save money for his Obi..... 21 Likes |

Lmao @ we've asked our son and he said the allegations were all false. But on a serious note where the president got the money from is non of his business and for people like Chief Metu, they should just collect the remaining change from him and let him go jare. |
