The "abokis" that quickly and silently refunded their loot were not stupid and knew the implications of dragging the matter to court.

Bros Metuh,you must finish your defence before your paddy Abang considers a plea bargain.

At long last, we are getting somewhere. He should please do quick and return the money. In fact, he should make the N400million cheque available at the next court hearing.


If only he had towed this honourable part from the beginning of the investigation, instead of grandstanding, he would have been spared of the handcuffs, prison remand, court harassment and having to disgracefully feign sickness to stall his trial.

This should also serve as a lesson to other Yam eaters like FFK who are still under investigation. You can cooperate honourably with EFCC and quietly return what you ate or be made to vomit it the hard way and disgracefully.
you think ffk has not used part of the money to buy range rover for his paled gf?

He must return the money in the current dollar equivalent.

Plus cost of investigation and prosecuting him so far.

Otherwise 15 years in jail.

Olisah METUH and other thieves should be made to pay interest on the Returns, at prevailing bank Loan rates,.... and also pay "legal Cost" to the Govt of Nigeria.

These mor*rons think they can just waste our time after stealing our YAMS?

Where are his #Wailing IPAD supporters, now that he has admitted to being a thief and Yam-eater?

[size=14pt]Olisa Metuh, absent in court, on bed rest at National Hospital[/size]

The trial of former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) Olisa Metuh, for allegations of corruption and money laundering was on Tuesday stalled at a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja due to the inability of Metuh to appear in court and face the charges. At the resumption of trial, Metuh’s counsel, Onyechi Ikpeazu, told the trial judge, Justice Okon Abang, that his client’s health condition has deteriorated, leading to his being placed on bed rest at the National Hospital, Abuja. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had in a seven-count charge accused Metuh of receiving the sum of N400 million from the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki, through his company, Destra Investment Ltd.

Cheap tactics. I am disappointed. Ordinarily, asking to return the money is an admission of guilt but in this case has been nullified by his lawyer's stand that they are unaware of the source of money. So, in a way, they are simply returning a lost item, the item in case N400,000,000 naira!!!!

I also agree with the person who noted that that money would have reduced in value. He should also pay for the time and the state's money spent addressing his matter. Simply put, arrogance does not pay.

Again, I know that there is no way he has spinal cord injury. He majestically jumped out of a van the other time for pete's sake. I understand the need to claim a disease we have little expertise on... Neurology cases can be tricky... but why spinal cord injury. I would have gone for a metabolic disease like Adrenal leukodystrophy or played the mental disease card. Rookies

– The lawyer to the former national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh has said that his client is willing to return N400 million to the federal government

– The lawyer said Metuh has established sufficient evidence that he was not aware of the source of the money made available to him (Metuh) by the former president, Goodluck Jonathan


A counsel to the embattled former national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh has said his client is willing to return the N400 million he (Metuh) allegedly received illegally from the national security adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

Speaking to journalists in court today, May 25, Metuh’s lawyer, Onyechi Ikpeazu said that since his client have shown sufficient evidence that he (Metuh) did not know the source of N400 million transferred to his company account by Dasuki, he is willing to refund the said amount.

“Chief Metuh had shown sufficient evidence that he was not aware of the source of the N400 million made available to him by the former President and he has shown his willingness, since the commencement of this matter, to refund the said sum even when there is no guilt knowledge (mens rea),” Ikpeazu said.

Ikpeazu also said that having lost an application made at the Appeal Court, his client has the right to go ahead to the Supreme Court to seek justice.

“There are issues in the Appeal Court ruling the defence team is not comfortable with, after due consultation with our client, he will instruct us on the next action. The client has the right of appeal all the way to the Supreme Court,” he added.

Metuh’s appeal on the Federal High Court’s ruling against his no case submission was today upheld by the Appeal Court.

Also speaking on the dismissal of Metuh’s application to travel abroad for a spinal cord treatment, Ikpeazu said it is pertinent to note that his client’s health is paramount.

“What is important to us for now is the health situation of the defendant whose situation has continued to deteriorate. Even the constitution recognizes the fact that an accused should be alive and fit to face trial and defend himself,” he said.

Metuh has been under admission at the National Hospital in Abuja since Monday, May 23,  following his ailing health condition.

He had earlier applied for the court to release his passport and grant him the permission to travel abroad for a spinal cord treatment.

But the trial judge in his matter, Justice Abang said his court lacked the jurisdiction to hear Metuh’s application for the release of his passport and as such cannot decide on his application to travel abroad for treatment.

Abang based his ruling on the grounds that the court having made pronouncements cannot go back on its own order.

The judge also said that Metuh failed to give evidence that no teaching hospital in Abuja can handle his health issue.
