THE former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh has accused the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government of intimidating medical personnel that are in charge of his ill-health.

Metuh and his company, Destra Investments Limited are standing trial over alleged N400 million they received from the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA).

In a press statement by one of Metuh’s counsel, Mr Benchuks Nwosu, titled: “Undue Political Interest and Interference in the Case of Chief Olisa Metuh, issued on Tuesday, the lawyer noted that the APC-led government had sustained a vicious media campaign against his client in recent days over his ailment.

“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.”

The statement read in part: “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.

“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 the hospital to be sedated with pentadiene injection and other strong painkillers. In order to be present in Court on subsequent days (15th and 16th of March 2018), he also had to take the strong painkiller 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?” the lawyer queried.

Take it easy bro.

Metuh, metuh, metuh....... u are acting like a baby.

Funny enuf, the man fighting u personally is Buhari.
U go wail tire because Buhari no get chill.

So u didn't threat the country at large when u emptied the treasury of the nation.

U will vomit the money and yet won't go free.

But you fail to deny the denial of the UK hospital accusing you of forging their document.
Tell us that the so called letter from one Dr. Casey wasn't from your client, or the there are more than one Wellington Hospital in UK, or the circulated email wasn't from the hospital. All you succeeded in doing is throw tantrums trying to curry sympathy for someone who's still sitting on out N400m just because he had access to the IB as president.
APC shall continue fighting your client in whatever way, after all its one of the main reasons they were voted in. To give looters sleepless nights!

This is not what is trending about Metuh's case...

Mr Lawyer can you confirm or deny the statements credited to the so-called Wellington Hospital denying both your client and his so called consultant.

That is what you should be addressing and not the media or the court denying your client permission to travel abroad.

Unless we forget, the media is not the court...you can't come here and be ranting unbehalf of your client just because is paying you legal fees... You have your conscience and posterity to deal with when this case is eventually over.

You are in the stage of presenting your witnesses why can't you hurry up with it and close ur case instead of employing this ur usual delay tactics... I think of late our judges have up their game since that raid carried out by the DSS please do the needful for ur client.... Tell him to face his trial. Better for him and everyone

Wawa

Hmmmmmm, how are the mighty falling,

The same metu,

I can remember his bigger than anybody, no one can touch me, and I can say whatever I want to say, above the law demeanor when he was in the ruling party,

Now he's crying for help against another ruling party,

Abeg if FG dey reason your matter, na common man wey, you nor give from your loot, go come help you ni,

Ode try another style to fool them, since the ones wey you dey try no gree fool yourself.

You come dey cry fowl, idiot

Metuh should leave dat tin jor. na Nigeria we dey. Once you see big long grammar as sickness like dis, na lie. I learnt that during NYSC when people were claiming all sorts of big grammar illnesses just to be relocated

Ogbeni Metuh,

Na u first swallow statement, u set the pace for snakes, Elephant and Monkey wey dey swallow our money now.

Na still dsame u dey act film for us untop Stretcher and wheel-chair..ur lawyer kan talk say u get this

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.

Nigeria with season films every week.

Isn't it sad that this is happening in a democracy yet the Nigerian Medical Association pays lip service, even in the face of public ridicule by a Judge.
I don't even have an issue with Metuh, the thief can be sentenced to sambisa if found guilty, but no one , no matter how evil should be denied healthcare. Dude has not even been convicted sef.
I weep for the future of medical practice cos a good number of young docs like me are on our way out.
Nothing beats indignity

This Metuh is a fool, he is suffering cos he does not want to surrender his ill gotten N400 Million he got from former NSA. He claimed he can prove his case in court, hence his problems and now he thinks FG is a fool? They'd definitely show him hell on earth. LOL. He has enjoyed the same privilege while he was close to GEJ, now is APC led FG to deal with him too. He and other PDP members should wait for their time in power to also deal with APC stewards. I'm enjoying the drama.

Tell your client to return the yams he eat...Simple!
