A witness in the ongoing trial of the National Publicity Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Olisa Metuh and his company, Destra Investment Limitedon Thursday, February 4, 2016 told Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja that, he was paid a total sum of N25m out of the N400million arms fund linked to the PDP spokesperson.

Abba Dabo, while being led in evidence by counsel to EFCC, Sylvanus Tahir, told the court that, he was paid a total sum of N25m, through the second defendant’s company account, Destra Investment Limited on December 16, 2015.

Dabo, a retired public servant and special adviser on political matters in the office of the former Vice president, was a former Editor of Sunday New Nigeria, and Gaskia Tafi kwabo, and also one time Deputy National Chairman, PDP North.

According to him, the said money was for the purpose of media and publicity campaign for the PDP presidential election.

Explaining how the money was expended, Dabo told the court that, he created a media support system and a website called “WhatsApp Nigeria” to run media advocacy campaign for the party.

“I raised a team of facilitators and young internet experts were also employed to manage the website”, Dabo stated.

The witness further told the court that, he was shocked to hear through the media that, the money given to him by Metuh was part of the funds set aside to procure arms for fighting insurgency.

“Therefore, I decided to return the money to EFCC”, Dabo said.
Justice Abang, at the instance of counsel to the second defendant, Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN, adjourned to February 9, 2016 for further hearing.

Metuh is being tried for allegedly receiving N400million (four hundred million naira) from former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd), who is also being tried for laundering $2.1 billion.

Good.

Gradually all our money will be returned. Then we will go after their ill gotten properties, as i hear these guys are busy selling their mansions at give away prices in Abuja left and right.

President Buhari, the battle against corruption cannot be complete in Nigeria, if Goodluck Jonathan does not end up in jail. I trust you Mr. President, as a man of honor, and that is why Jonathan must not go unpunished.

Lubbish

If EFCC believe they have strong cases why not conduct a public trial of Dasuki?

this is all wishy washy

so this Abba Dabo was paid for a service. he executed the service and made expenses but somehow has enough money to return all of the money he was paid at the first count?

A man who's house is on fire does not chase rats

Enough of all these GATES......conclude these cases, jail them if they are found guilty,free them if they are innocent and let's move to work.

Recession is imminent in the country and all we have been busy doing are all GATES.

I consider all these as rather retrogressive


Walks out and slams the door

Blessed are those who give, cos theirs is the kingd....Wait O


25million naira for doing almost nothing?

Metuh, You will BURN!!!

You follow eat our yams abi, oya sit down there

Nobody wan go chill for kuje plaza(prison)

Lamidi,Mike,Sikiru,victor can't wait to yansh Metuh for kuje prison

Ok now

I'm beginning to believe that all this hullabaloo about DàsukiGate is nothing but propaganda. Come on, the Abba guy was paid for his services, is he a witch to know where the money came from?

Until I see people actually jailed for the said crimes, this is just another ruse and a nollywood movie to me.

Dix yam eaters are increasing daily... And some people are claiming dat d 2.1b is a scam and never exist

Until the fight against corruption is stretched beyond opposition party I will never take this seriously....

After we would say Santa Claus doesn't exist.

What else should we call Dasuki?
