No wonder Former President Goodluck Jonathan refused to show up in court as a witness.

Metuh would have indicted him

Former PDP spokesman, Mr Olisa Metuh, at the Federal High Court in Abuja on February 25,

Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja has convicted Mr Olisa Metuh and found him guilty of all the charges filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

In a ruling which lasted hours on Tuesday, the trial judge took his time to take the counts in the N400 million fraud case against the former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The EFCC charged Metuh, who is standing trial alongside his company, Destra investment, with seven counts of money laundering and criminal diversion of said fund which he received from the office of the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd).

Justice Abang explained that the actions of Colonel Dasuki led to the criminal breach of trust and official corruption involving Metuh.

He said the former PDP spokesman lacked any documentary evidence to show that former President Goodluck Jonathan authorised the release of N400 million purportedly for security reasons without a contractual agreement.

According to the trial judge, the prosecution need not have any evidence of Dasuki’s conviction before pushing for Metuh’s conviction.

Person wey win without APC can definitely do without APC so it's not because he is scared. Something bigger is definitely the reason he is opting for APC.

eldoradoxx:
The day he was sworn in as Deputy Governor of Bayelsa I.e February 14th, immunity completely covered him from being proceeded against criminally. Again, he cannot be disqualified now assuming the allegation is true because the time frame to file a law suit to disqualify a candidate in an election is within 14 days of nomination in the primary election. Bad case

bigpicture001:
We know the game.

DSS will find him innocent nd use that as evidence to go back to supreme court to over turn odili judgment.

APC nd will at all cost is 5 n 6

lonelydora:
Who told you? Is his different names not the problem?

Just advising people like you.

You forget that Fulani herdsmen
kidnappers also use cell phones that
can easily be traced to the nearest
tower closer to them.

By the time satellite technology is
joined to GSM microwave tech, no
kidnapper will have were to hide..

I assure you that tracking kidnappers
is easier than tracing the source of
fake news; but the body language of
your president doesn't want his
kidnapper brothers bothered or
molested by law enforcement agents.

Frando29:
seeing if they might have missed something in the process... I'm sure I wasn't the one that made this statement. I perfectly understood you bro..

The SC allowing them more time is simply an academic exercise. The supreme court is not open to new litigation but a review of it's previous Judgement. Not based on new facts but on facts already available during the past Judgement and seeing if they might have missed something in the process.

Anything coming in as a fresh litigation would be thrown out without thinking twice and the initial Judgement would stand.

Ihedioha is wasting his time

Frando29:
And what makes you think they didn't miss something in the first place?

SangoOlukosoOba:
Op is a kid

International community threatening Supreme Court of Nigeria.

Comedy!

EasternPrince:
You talk too much for a small APC rat.

kahal29:
Just wondering....... Ihedioha and his party {PDP] have been calling for a review, protesting everywhere and telling everyone who cares to listen as to how they were robbed of their mandate in Imo.

Now the Supreme court set today the 18th day of February for the hearing of their application and it turned out they were not ready to proceed with the review. According to reports by channels TV their lawyer Kanu Agabi started by asking for more time to file more papers which I think they forgot to file while protesting at various embassies.

Are they really ready for this review? Or as Clevite a Nairalander opined....... Now they realize they need to file more documentary evidence; the documents they didn't know they should have filed from the inception of the case from Tribunal till it was finally determined at the Supreme Court. A case of systematic re-litigating of the case in the guise of a review.
Let's discuss...... what do you think might be responsible for this delay tactics by Ihedioha and his team of audio lawyers?

U are quick to arrest d woman for spreading fake news but have yet to arrest d criminals who kidnapped and murdered d woman

They can easily fish out the
source of so-called fake news,

yet, all these time, they cannot fish out a
single kidnapper.


Nigerian security forces sabi get
hard on, for the wrong issue.

The Intelligence Response Team (IRT), Force Headquarters of the Nigeria Police, Abuja, have arrested a 34-year old female teacher, Grace Ibrahim, for spreading false information that a policeman was involved in the kidnap of Kaduna based medical doctor’s, Philip Ataga’s, wife and two children.

The doctor’s wife and two little children were abducted in January 25, 2020 in their Kaduna home at Juji area of Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The children were released on February 6, 2020, but unfortunately after their mother had been killed by the kidnappers.

In a post that went viral on the Internet soon after, Ibrahim had said one of the children had identified a neighbour, who is a policeman, as the person that ordered the shooting of their mother.

Ibrahim, who was paraded at the Force Headquarters, apologized for the viral message, saying she did not verify it before spreading it.

Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Frank Mba, who paraded the suspect said, “While we were working on that case, we woke up to a very damaging viral post that made allegations to the effect that a policeman was implicated in the kidnapping and subsequent murder of the deceased. It was a very damaging insinuation and our operatives immediately set out to investigate the source and origin of that story. Today after days of investigation, we traced that post that went viral to the young lady here, Grace Ibrahim, a teacher, who from nowhere originated that post.

“This is a classical example of fake news and of the major the problems with this kind of fake news is that not only are the false and irresponsible, buy can actually set the people against the police. This kind of story has the capacity of damaging the very important relationship between the police and members of the public. The success of every police department is predicated on the kind of support they get from members of the public. Once trust and confidence from members of the public are eroded no police agency can function effectively. So when you spread this kind of false story, insinuating that police officers are now the ones carrying out kidnapping and killing innocent people, whose lives they have been charged, employed, trained, equipped and paid to preserve, then you are damaging a very vital ingredient of a stable society.

“Fake news of this nature are also very distractive. Resources that would have been otherwise used in investigating important cases are sometimes diverted to trying to investigate the source of these kinds of stories. We have also seen in the past where fake news have triggered communal clashes and reprisal attacks and innocent persons are attacked and killed and properties damaged.

“I use this opportunity to appeal to members of the public, particularly our teeming youths to exercise a lot of caution in the use of the social media. You have to be circumspect before you push out that story. If you are not sure of the authenticity of that story, of you cannot confirm if indeed it is true please don’t push the button on your phone. Don’t push out that story. It is also a criminal offence. Our cyber laws are very clear. We would go after you, arrest and prosecute you. It is not enough defense to say forwarded as received. Once you forward, you have put your signature on that story, at the point you are forwarding the story, you have become a co-author of that story.”

When given the opportunity to speak, Grace Ibrahim, said she was a teacher from Kaduna State.

“I apologize to the police for putting out information that was false because I did not verify it. It was based on hearsay, and I just put it out there. I did not think about the implication and I am very sorry because the information was false. I heard it from a colleague. I wish to apologize.

“I did not confirm and decided to post, which was bad of me. When I saw it was going viral, I decided to pull it down because that was when I realized what is did was wrong and I really want to apologize to the police.

“I said the daughter of Dr Ataga recognized a policeman that ordered the killing of her mum. I should have confirmed before I did that. I urge that people should not share information that cannot confirm. It is damaging. It is saddening that I would go on national air because of such information,” Ibrahim said.

I wonder how dumb you guys are, Qassem Soleimani was never a terrorist; Qassem Soleimani was a general of a Army in an independent country. Just like Buratai in Nigeria, If US said Soleimani was a terrorist does it automatically made him a one? For your own information Qassem Soleimani was the one who led the war against the terrorists ISIS (Boko Haram styled group) in Syria and Iraq. Here are some links from mainstream media;

https://www.usip.org/publications/2020/01/how-soleimani-strike-impacts-syria-and-fight-against-isis

Most of you knows nothing about Soleimani, until when US killed him, and cooked up stories that he's a terrorist. Sheikh Zakzaky shared same religious ideology with Soleimani, as Shi'a Muslim; just like any Catholic with Vatican or Anglican with Church of England, or Jew with Israel. Same Qassem Soleimani you guys are calling terrorist, liberates Christians in Syria and some parts of Iraq from ISIS.

Lostz:
you ever seen US military officials being charged by ICC? ICC have no jurisdiction over the US. international criminal court were formed for third world countries

Lostz:
you love to argue, don't you?
first you said only court issue subpoenas.

now let me explain to you.
in the US there is court and legislature subpoenas.
court subpoenas are supreme and you can't exercise executive privileges over them but you can exercise executive privileges over Congress subpoenas.

when there is a clash between Congress subpoenas and executive privileges, Congress is allowed to take the presidency to the court.

shea you understand now
