Can anyone name any top Northern politician who is a MUSLIM who has been convicted and sentenced by Buhari.....

Mention any former governor or federal Minister.

Before some of you will come here to rant like an ant.

I am not against jailing corrupt politicians. I dont know Metu or Orji Kalu.

I just wonder why No Northern Muslim of such status is in Jail. 2 former governors tried and jailed are christians
Yet you people cried foul when they were dealing with dasuki. Maina, Shehu Sanni and co are in the hot seat now but you all want them acquitted so you can launch your egregious propaganda against Buhari

The Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced a former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Olisa Metuh, to seven years in prison.

Justice Okon Abang handed down the sentence in his judgement on Tuesday on seven counts of money laundering and criminal diversion of funds to the tune of N400 million.

The charges were filed against Metuh and his company, Destra investment, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The trial judge sentenced Metuh after convicting him and found him guilty of all the charges brought against him by the anti-graft agency.

This followed a protracted trial of the former PDP spokesman which lasted about four years and witnessed a series of drama and adjournment over health-related matters.

Giving his judgement, Justice Abang sentenced Metuh to seven years imprisonment in respect to Counts One to Three.

On Count Four, the PDP spokesman was sentenced to five years while he got seven, three and seven years for Counts Five, Six, and Seven respectively.

He, however, held that all the sentences should run concurrently, with effect from February 25, 2020.

Meaning, the sentence shall run concurrently which implies that he would only spend the highest number of years of jail term, which is seven, in prison.

The trial judge also sentenced Dextra Investment to pay a fine of N25 million with respect to Counts Five and Six, while Metuh was also ordered to pay a fine of N375 million.

Justice Abang further ordered that the account of Dextra Investment should be forfeited to the Federal Government and the company be dissolved.


in all these summary, is he to pay a fine of 375 m or refund what he took? Am just asking in a layman language pls no vex

Honestly, it might have been difficult for Abang especially as himself and Metuh were coursemates at Law School.

Muslims are less corrupt compare to Christians. This is a clear fact that you can attest to.

It's rather complete war against corrupt politicians or nothing! To hell with Bullhari and his unequal Justice more like his unequal scrotal sac housing his cracked eggs. And to those praising Bullhari, I still recommend a monthly thorough mental reassessment just to evaluate and validate the state of ur reasoning as human and not cows. I wonder when the very short arm (No longer long Arm) of law will visit the likes of the Tinubu and co.
These are the same people that have kept this country the way it is today and they will still be making mouth....the like of FFK.

Many northerners have been charged for corruption, Olisa did not steal a quarter of what they stole, why are they not being sentenced? This same administration was planning to re-loot tens of billion of Nigeria through bagudu the governor of kebbi State. Olisa is a victim of political witch-hunt and opposition suppression. Time shall tell. They are always out to bite when a Southerner is found wanting and rarely bark when a northerner is found wanting. Country of fools!
