A lot has been said about the continued detention of PDP spokesperson, Chief Olisa Metuh, with Lagos based layer Egun E. dragging the EFCC to court.
I wish to submit clearly that Olisa Metuh's detention is within the ambit of the law, considering the newly passed Administartion of Criminal Justics Act 2015, enacted at the twilight of the 7th Assembly and signed into law.

Below is a link to the document.... http://www.justice.gov.ng/documents/Criminal%20Justice.pdf ( for detention time limit....see section 293 to 296, concentrate on 296).

You may recall that the EFCC on Jan 6 or 7ths got a magistrate court order to remand Olisah Metuh...see link. http://pulse.ng/politics/olisa-metuh-efcc-obtains-court-order-to-detain-pdp-spokesman-id4534752.html.

Note: Chief magistrate Azubuike Okeagu actually granted EFCC the plea to remand Metuh till January 13th. After which, they can ask for another 14 days according to the act.

December 5th till date is not more than the detention limit specified in this act, so I wonder why people are shouting. Its easier for people to use a part of the law that suits them to buttress their own story, but our collective duty is to ensure we say the truth as it is and inform Nigerians.

Plz let be informed and comment based on facts.

Detaining a thief will forever be Legal.


When you divert money meant to fight terrorism and terrorism continues, You are a terrorist.
