A witness, Mr. Richard Ihediwa, in the ongoing trial of former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisah Metuh, said on Thursday that the N400m Metuh got was disbursed as directed by ex-President Goodluck Jonathan.



Ihediwa, led in evidence by the counsel to Metuh, Mr. Emeka Etiaba (SAN), told the Abuja High Court that Jonathan gave the directive on how the amount was to be spent.

He said that N21m was paid to former PDP Chairman, Chief Tony Anenih, for a property acquired for use by the party as its media intervention centre.

He added that although the property, located in Asokoro area of Abuja, did not belong to Anenih, he assisted the PDP media team headed by the accused in securing it.


He said, “The amount covered the cost of hiring the structure, utility vehicles as well as security gadgets at the centre.”

The witness also told the court that various sums were paid to some groups coordinated by some government functionaries, including the late Oronto Douglas and Abbah Dabo.

He said he was not very certain about the amount released to late Douglas, but added that N25m was released to Dabo as mobilisation fee for advocacy groups, in line with the directive.

Ihediwa said the former president also approved different amounts for some other groups and Metuh disbursed the funds to them accordingly.

He said because of the tension and high level of insecurity across the six geo-political regions of the country then, there was the need for government to mobilise various advocacy groups to stabilise the system.

Meanwhile, Justice Okon Abang has reserved ruling for November 15 on applications filed by the defence counsel.

Ineffectual Buffon gave directives to colonies of slowpoke to share our national cake any how and the consequences is the current economic plague.

GEJ na criminal!

Baba with the sharing formula!



Na so them go share una into each section of hell

The same Justice Okon Abang giving people sleepless night. Isoright

But I think the former president should be called to answer questions too because during all these trials he has been mentioned as always giving due approvals before disbursements are made and so I'm not sure if it's the subjects that should always take the blow for everything that the so called master is doing

You can't disobey your principal and that should be taken into account too

Lmao. You bad

Who no no say jona na criminal.

Its just a matter of time before jonathan is totally cornered. He's been talking a lot lately...which was a very bad idea. Im not against the secret rule that all former presidents can never be arrested...but dont be forming hero status, when you know you did more harm than good...look at IBB for example...very very gentle .

nevilbot:

Did u read the story at all before writing that? Which court are u advicing them to go to again? Where did d witness say wat he said? In your room or in d courts? So its media trial wen d press reports a court proceeding that is open for any one to attend abi

Am not just referring to this case but to the myriads of allegations that has graced d fp since Buhari took over. Just when you thought the thieving bastards are going to get served, u will suddenly realise everything has been swept under. Take Saraki's case as an example

GEJ is now the alibi. It's easy because these rogues believe there is pact/agreement not to arrest or probe GEJ. How PMB and EFCC handles this issue of referring to the ex-president will go a long way in defining the anti-corruption war.

Say no to corruption!

Confusion everywhere.

All I know is that these country is filled with wicked humans. Both prosecutors and defendants

All former presidents are thieves.

adekayo1234:
Just jail one person as in go to court and prove your points cos am tired of all these media trials

They are all thieves

Media trials continues...

.

Big Lie
