PRESS RELEASE

UNDUE POLITICAL INTEREST AND INTERFERENCE IN THE CASE OF CHIEF OLISA METUH.

In the past few weeks, we have witnessed statements, sponsored articles and comments by the All Progressive Congress (APC) and some federal government office holders and apologists in furtherance of the well- funded media trial against our Client, Chief Olisa Metuh.

More disturbing is the direct threat, harassment and intimidation of medical personnel and institutions involved in the treatment and management of our client's ill-health. We have instances and evidence of these APC controlled agents and agencies directly interfering with the various hospitals that have admitted Chief Metuh in the last two months but the latest is the letter written by APC to the Wellington hospital, London, U.K, depicting our client as an enemy of the Nigerian state and one that should not even access to medical treatment abroad.

A simple Google search on Dr. Adrian Casey would have revealed his profile including his references in the wellington hospital website. However these individuals were actually more interested in continuing with the ridicule and media trial of our client and to go further to create controversies even with his last hope for medical succour. Are they just more interested in ensuring that he must be denied access to medical treatment at all cost?

It should be recalled that the APC and government officials had launched a massive campaign to ridicule, mock and make cruel jokes of Chief Metuh's appearance on a stretcher and subsequently in a wheelchair in his obedience to the Rulings and Orders of Justice Abang. 

These people are quite aware that the learned Judge had ruled that he will no longer accept medical reports from any doctor in Nigeria. On the same day, the Court ordered that Metuh must appear in Court at the next adjourned date and the only clear choice for a bedridden person would be to appear in Court with his hospital bed or in a stretcher. 

The clear fact, as evidenced by his MRI report, is that Chief Olisa Metuh has severe spondylosis with disc herniations, cord and nerve root compressions in his Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbosacral spine. This has resulted in semi-paralysis and we have even gone further in open Court to request that the prosecution be allowed to conduct their own independent clinical examination of the person involved.

Our Client has not left the confines of a hospital or his own bedroom for the past 2 months except to attend Court proceedings. He spent several hours in Court on the 14th of March, 2018 and had to be taken straight to hospital to be sedated with pentadine injection and other strong pain killers. In order to be present in Court on subsequent days (15th and 16th of March 2018) he also had to take the strong pain killer injections early morning before the sittings. This however, resulted in our Client being semi-drowsy on the 15th and 16th and was clearly unable to even observe or follow the proceedings in open Court.

In any case, are these people not aware that it is only in Chief Olisa Metuh’s matter that the issue of release of passport for an accused person has been such an impossibility?

Just last week, a Court released the passport of an accused person being prosecuted by the same EFCC to enable him attend a conference abroad. Others have been allowed to go for medical check- up abroad and even for pilgrimage. The same Court had also granted some other accused persons facing charges the same indulgence being denied Chief Olisa Metuh.

We believe strongly that these media trials are geared towards convincing the public that a man whose charge is that he "reasonably ought to have known" that the money given to him was part of an unlawful activity of another individual who has not even been questioned, investigated or charged is already guilty and convicted even before he has given his evidence in the matter.

Our Client, Chief Olisa Metuh has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has been making his case on his innocence. He has applied the highest level of comportment in showing his respect for our legal system. His only worry remains his plea to be allowed to have a definitive treatment of his worsening ailment. He has suffered humiliation and pain simply by being obedient to court orders.

The fight against corruption does not imply persecution, manifest wickedness and lynch mob approach to particular individuals.

Enough is Enough!

This is why they wish that Buhari will just disappear. Old habits die hard..

Didnt Buhari and his son get treated in EU?

Busted my foot. This is APC at work. Somebody would sit somewhere and concoct some fabrications just to tarnish Metuh.fake news

BigIyanga:

Didnt Buhari and his son get treated in EU?

Because they are not in court answering corruption charges.

What a coincidence!
Here in the City of London in Canada, one of our 3 major hospitals (Victoria Hospital) is located on Wellington street.
So when I read the subject on the front page " London Wellington Hospital Disown Metuh’s Dr Casey", I thought the article was referring to Victoria Hospital on Wellington street here in London, Canada.

In a new twist, the doctor's medical report which was tendered as an exhibit in an Abuja Court, a letter allegedly from the reputable Wellington Hospital in London on behalf of the former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) spokesperson, Mr Olisa Metuh has been disowned by the hospital.

Dr Adrian T. H. Casey had claimed that he is a Neurosurgeon working with Wellington Hospital in London. He therefore tendered a letter from Wellington Hospital to affirm that the former PDP spokesperson, Metuh needed to be treated urgently in the United Kingdom.

An investigation by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the United Kingdom revealed that the said Dr. Casey is not an employee of the hospital as claimed in the court proceedings.

In an email correspondence between the UK party anti-corruption unit and the Chief Executive Officer of Wellington Hospital, the hospital clearly disowned Dr Casey and went further to say that the hospital never employed consultants.

It is obvious that the hospital is not aware of letter tendered in Abuja court in its name and this suggests that Dr Casey appears to be just a private consultant to Mr Metuh and not employed by Wellington Hospital.

Mr Metuh who is facing corruption charges had arrived Abuja division of the Federal High Court, in a wheelchair for the continuation of his trial before the court.

The country’s corruption watchdog, the Economic and Financial Crime Commission had alleged that Mr Metuh had before the 2015 Presidential election, received N400million from the Office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA, without executing any contract.


According to Vanguard Newspaper, at the resumed proceeding on Wednesday, Metuh through his lawyer, Mr Emeka Etiaba, SAN, applied to be allowed to travel to the United Kingdom for medical treatment.

Metuh’s lawyer told the court that his client’s health had deteriorated in the past two months.

He posited the worsening situation of his health would require urgent medical attention from his doctors in London, UK.

METUH , HIS LAWYER AND THE DOCTOR ARE THIEF'S. PLEASE SEND THEM TO JAIL

An investigation by APC in UK? when did APC become an intelligent agency,like DSS,NIA and CIA,please say something else,the information is false.

But I jus googled d Dr now and he seems legit..

Stealing is not corruption.

The blogger who did the investigation knows nothing.

Private Hospitals in the UK do not employ consultants.

They give them Practicing Privileges to access the Hospital when they need to bring patients there.

The Hospital only employs House Officers, Radiographers, Nurses and other ancillary health professionals but never a consultant.

In UK setup, patients belong to the Consultant (not the Hospital) and the consultant may choose to treat the patient in any private hospital they wish. This is where the UK differs to Naija where Nigerian private consultants often own and practice from one hospital only.

So the fact Dr Casey is not employed by The Wellington does not mean Dr Casey is not intending to treat Metuh there.

Dr Adrian Casey clearly practices at The Wellington Hospital as you will see below:

If the hospital never employed consultants then, who do they employ? The story doesn't add up.

GoroTango:
If Metuh is allowed to leave the shores of Nigeria I can guarantee he will never return and that will be the end of our N400 million. There are excellent doctors at the National hospital Abuja who can treat him

Same doctors who couldn't treat Buhari?

You see why Buhari is a useless hypocrite?

He has ensured that criminals have excuses to held on to just like the president who lampooned others for foreign medical trips and bloated presidential jets that he also has refused to sell.

Ordinary Google Search gave me the following.

Adrian Casey is a prominent doctor in the UK.

Who's lying?

Pls show us link to major news media.


It isn't difficult to get a fake or real doctor's report abroad.

Throwback:
Olisa Metuh, next time dem give you offer to return dirty money, you will never boast to be taken to court.

I just dey pity the man like dis. If he had known, He would've returned the money quietly and walk away freely dan bragging to be charged.now he's even begging to return the money with interest yet, the govt no come gree again. Pls make dem pity small. I Neva pity a politician as I dey pity dis Metu now. Dey shud temper justice with mercy and collect the money from him and let him go pls

SoNature:
Make Buhari use Metuh shine. Some idiots need to go to jail for corruption! Someone should go to jail for Buhari to be taken seriously.

But the only problem I have with Buhari is that his fight against corruption is lopsided. We've yet to see the report of EFCC on the probe on Amaechi and Fashola two years after the announcement by the commission that the ex-governors, now ministers, are under investigation.

Buhari corruption fight is a drama just like metuh hospital issue is a drama. Nigeria has always been a land of comedy. Just watch on and enjoy.

ybalogs:
Once corrupt, always corrupt...Dr Casey self dey play with jail term.

h. Let metuh go join his co-acused Sambo bature in kuje and let's forget about them jare.
