EFCC Slams 7-count Charge Of Corruption On PDP Spokesman, Metuh by LocalChamp: 7:58pm On Jan 14, 2016 |
January 14, 2016Evelyn Okakwu The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has filed a seven-count charge of corruption against the spokesperson of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh. The EFCC also listed a former Board of Trustees chairman of the PDP, Tony Anenih, as one of the recipients of payments from N400 million it says Mr. Metuh received from former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki. The first four counts, filed Thursday, accuse Mr. Metuh of receiving N400 million from Mr. Dasuki. Here are the details of the charge: “That you Olisa Metuh and Destra Investment Limited, on or about 24th November 2014 in Abuja, within the Jurisdiction of this Honourable court, took possession of the sum of N400, 000 000:00 (Four hundred Million Naira) only, paid into the account of DESTRA INVESTMENTS limited with Diamond Bank Plc, with account number: 0040437573, from the account of the office of the National Security Adviser with the Central Bank of Nigeria without contract award when you reasonably ought to have known that the said fund formed part of the proceeds of an unlawful activity of Col. Mohammed Sambo Dasuki (Rtd.); the then National Security Adviser (To wit: criminal breach of trust and corruption) and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 15 (2) (d) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011 as amended in 2012 and punishable under section 15(3) of the same Act. “That you Olisa Metuh and Destra Investment Limited, on or about 24th November, 2014 in Abuja, within the Jurisdiction of this Honourable court converted the sum of N400, 000 00: 00 (Four Hundred Million Naira only) which sum was received from the office of the National Security Adviser with the Central Bank of Nigeria without contract award, which you claimed to have received for political activities of the People Democratic Party when you reasonably ought to have known that the said funds form part of the proceeds of an illegal activity of Col.

Counts five to seven accuse Mr. Anenih and others of being part of the alleged fraud. “That you Olisa Metuh and Destra Investments Limited, on or before the 22nd of December 2014 in Abuja, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court did make a cash payment through your agent, one Nneka Nicole Ararume to one Kabiru Ibrahim; a none Financial institution to the tune of $1, 000 000:00 USD, (One million United States Dollars) only, and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 1 of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011, as amended in 2012 and punishable under section 16(2)(b) of the same Act”. “That you Olisa Metuh and Destra Investments Limited, on or before the 22nd of December 2014 in Abuja, within the Jurisdiction of this honourable court did make a cash payment through your agent, one Nneka Nicole Ararume to one Sie Iyenome of Capital Field Investment, to the tune of $1, 000 000:00 USD, (One million United States Dollars) only, and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 1 of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011, as amended in 2012 and punishable under section 16(2)b of the same Act. “That you Olisa Metuh and Destra Investments Limited on or about the 4th of December 2014, in Abuja, within the Jurisdiction of this Honourable court did transfer the sum of N21, 776, 000:00 (Twenty-One Million, Seven Hundred and Seventy-Six Thousand Naira) being part of the N400, 000 000:00 (Four Hundred million Naira) which directly represented the proceeds of an unlawful activity of Col.

He also requested a speedy hearing of the case, an application turned down by the judge. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/196760-efcc-slams-7-count-charge-of-corruption-on-pdp-spokesman-metuh.html 1 Like |

Haba! No. No. no! There's no freaking way you can say GEJ's hands are clean in this matter of #DasukiGate. This one pass 'cluelessness'. What possible LEGAL explanation is there for a President to pay a party spokesman N400m from the account of the NSA, when you know 1) Olisa Metuh is not a contractor for the NSA 2) The NSA funds were meant mainly for fighting Boko Haram. Distributing money from the ONSA...No wonder he was confidently telling the BBC reporter (or was it CNN?) that "I will surely win". 1 Like |

PROVACATEUR:Don't be surprised they got more charges against him and would easily be handpicked just like the nimasa boss after he's being granted bail.... Thank God the case is in the court now let's see if he would be the one to implicate GEJ since he said the money was meant to execute an assignment for GEJ and the assignment needs to be made public. |

7 count charge. And after the court grants Metuh bail, an additional 30 count charge will be added by the EFCC thereby re-arresting him. APC should enjoy their impunity will it last cos it will soon come to an end. |

OnReflection:You got time to educate him, he's just being blind to the matter cuz it's an Igbo/PDP member that's involved. This corruption must be fought to a logical end, we all saw how someone was invited and immediately returned 100M naira back, would that have happened if we still had that clueless man who promised fighting corruption with technology The clueless evil yam distributor |

ShowYourCertificate:Abeg go park for one side, Tinubu was in the opposition and was very outspoken yet for 16years PDP couldn't come up with a case against him, it simply shows they themselves are neck deep into corruption and would only shoot themselves if they try probing anybody. I am 99% sure if PDP mistakenly return to power after maybe 20years and they have this same set of people as members they will never try probing anybody cuz the stain on them can never be washed off with anything |
