$2.1bn Arms Cash: Olisa Metuh Spends First Night In EFCC Cell Over N1.4bn Traced by mackay37(m): 3:44am On Jan 06, 2016
The ongoing investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has landed the spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, in the Commission’s cell in Abuja.
Metuh, who was arrested by four operatives of the anti-graft agency from his Abuja home, spent the first night with his interrogators at the headquarters of the EFCC, answering questions on how the sum of N1.4 billion strayed from the account of the Office of the National Security Adviser into a company, Destra,  linked to him.

Metuh
Interestingly, it was the suspect, who first hinted that the former President, Goodluck Jonathan, had given him a job to do and that he successfully completed the said job,  but failed to say what it was and how much he was paid for and when.
The revelation by Metuh, according to EFCC officials, prompted the agency to beam its searchlight on cash payments from the ONSA, leading to the discovery that he was one of the major beneficiaries of slush funds, now a subject of investigation and prosecution by the Federal Government.
It was learnt that out of the $2.1 billion arms funds, N400 million was transferred from ONSA to the company on November 24, 2014 which previously had a balance of N6, 676,576.06 only before the major transfer from the ONSA.
A top source in the EFCC said that Metuh was also receiving a monthly pay of N4 million from ONSA.
A top EFCC source said Metuh was likely to spend the night with them given the weight of financial transactions in ONSA traced to him and his company.
The source said: “We arrested Chief Metuh this morning (yesterday) and as we speak he is still being questioned and it is not likely that he will be released today.
“We want to finish the interrogation of Metuh at once, so that we can decide whether to charge him to court or let him to go,” the source said.
Metuh, has, however slammed his arrest by the EFCC, claiming that he was being persecuted.
“I have not done anything unlawful. Whatever I have done in pursuance of my office, I can defend it anywhere, any time,” he said.

Are we saying and supporting that non of the APC members that cross carpeted from PDP corrupt or going to be probed? Are we not going to dig deep into where most APC State governors got funds to support President Buhari election? If truly PMB belongs to no one, then search light should be beamed on everyone that stole both at federal and state level. God bless Nigeria.

The last has not be heard on this. Metuh need a lot of explanation for both the investigators and the judge.

Jonathan administration was an administration for family and friends. Little wonder why we hear noises such as him being the best president because he enriched people who never worked.

Now the economy is really in a bad shape. Whilst other economies are recovering from the 2008 recession, Nigeria is falling deep into a depression because of waste, mismanagement and poor choices.

Jonathan may not be prosecuted now, but he should be ashamed of his legacy - which is nothing to write home about.

With all the noise about Amaechi embezzling and sponsoring PMB's election Wike is yet to come up with a solid petition against him. If the state government who have first hand access to documents about this past governors can't file a petition against them it's PMB who doesn't have access to them that should start digging ba And for those who cross carpet to APC, have you heard any of their names from the latest musician in town? #Dasuki and he wasn't invited or quizzed?? You don't just come online to drop trash without reasoning deep first it makes you sound like a f*** sometimes. #Shalom

Buhari expressed himself with respect to the information available to him. Was buhari EFCC FBI or Interpol?

The highest act of wickedness is collecting subsidy payments, then going ahead to sell product over 90% of the official price.

Do you know the hardship these greedy mofo are causing for the common man?

They should be shot!
