Olisa Metuh is a true son of Igboland!! I like his bold and unwavering spirit!! Buhari's compromised EFCCC have met their match in him!!

The man would make a mess of these fools in court!! Let the case begin

cktheluckyman:


You are yet to prove that metuh stole Nigeria's money

ISpiksDaTroof:
If this was here in the States, does this pendejo know that he just talked himself into at least 20 years in Prison?! HE HAS NO DEFENSE!!!

And why is the EFCC allowing all sorts of characters visit inmates pending trial? The ONLY people that should be allowed to visit him PRE-TRIAL are his legal team; even his spouse should only be allowed to speak to him on monitored phone calls and only for a few minutes each week until the conclusion of proceedings. He should not be allowed access to his PERSONAL phones, and his letters--- both incoming and outgoing--- except VERIFIED Attorney/Client correspondence should be monitored. The result of neglecting control of Pre-Trial Inmates is the idiocy we see in the above article.

Anyway, Nigeria is still learning, hopefully they get it right before it's too late.

Sagamite:


Who told you he is being held indefinitely?

Please educate me.

If he feels he is being held illegally, why has he not gone to court to sue the government. He is not an illiterate, is he?

So APC funding the election to power is an excuse to not charge him?

plaetton:
This is very disgraceful.
EFCC is on a blind fishing expedition.
Just throwing nets and hoping to catch stray fish.

This is certainly not how to fight corruption.
The very immature shenanigans if the EFCC almost guaranteed that they would get convictions in a competent court of law, even a bona fide crime has been established.

The president of Nigeria has wide discretionary powers.
Metueh cannot be charged with ba crime for carrying out an assignment for the president.
Now, if 400 is missing from an official account, then the government should investigate who disbursed the money.

This charade is very embarrassing, and makes a mockery of the genuine desire of Nigerians to uproot corruption.

So you and your brother own a company were you give out more than N200M annually just for suppliers/customer/staff appreciation?

sunnyb0b0:


Not annually.

GreatSE:


Bros are you in the United state of Arziberjan (USA)


If it were United state Of America he wont even be in detention for 12 hrs let alone 10 days....and you dont know he is a Lawyer, he will still repeat that in the court of law

Oga Methu sorry oooooo . But what assignment cost 400 million naira. If it was to construct a building it must be expensive than Dangote's house. Or can't the public know it

alcmene:



And where in YOUR STATES are citizens detained without trial nor evidence linking them to a certain crime

Where in YOUR STATES does the president pronounce suspects guilty even without being pronounced so by the court of competent jurisdiction

Where in YOUR STATES do security apparatus kill and maim unarmed protesters as if they are suicide bombers

Why should the EFCC arrest and detain a suspect and then start searching for the appropriate offence to charge him for while the suspect rots away in detention....Is that how they go about it in YOUR STATES

jnrremedy:

I hate commenting on issues like this on public forum because nigerians are too tribalistic and sentimentally but in this case I can't just help it. Its so sad that we allow sentiments to cloud our ability to make subjective reasoning. Sorry to say but a whole lot of us are either too silly or we lack any mental capacity to make logical reasoning
A ruling party member accepted collecting public funds for running errands for an elected public office holder and nobody sees anything wrong with that, in a saner environment that alone is enough for self acceptance of being guilty of corruption
And it is totally irresponsible for a law abiding citizen that he claimed he to be to decline answering questions from an law enforcing agency that alone is incriminating.
These people deserves whatsoever is befalling them they have caused a whole lot of harm pls stop defending them

jnrremedy:

Constitution provides for continued detention of criminal suspects(murder stealing etc) in police detention all that's needed is to go to court. And this was done by Efcc they went to a magistrate court and the judge granted their prayer.

Quarterly or monthly?

You are just saying rubbish! In the states will they just pick someone and lock for days without any case against him in court?

marv1:
This is what nigerian youth has turned to. U are hailing a thief. What a shame? If it were to be someone on the street who stole little things like phone, shoes or wallet people like u will want to give him gungle justice to kill him. But because this is a big man who collected diverted funds but u are already saying ranka dede. What a shame? A thief that has no shame. God will purnish all of them. Menthu collected 400 million naira he could not tell the whole world what he used the money for. God will purnish Olisa menthu.

snailspeed:


This is nothing but cheap propaganda. IF he has a case to answer, take him to court. All these one you have typed is just deceit and insicerity

plaetton:

Nooo sir. You have it upside down.

Firstly, no one here is holding brief for corruption, irrespective of who is involved.

But, lets examine the facts.
There is nothing untoward about the president using poliical surrogates to run errands for him.

The source of the funds is the issue. Shouldn't the person who disbursed the funds in the best position to answer where the funds came from and what they were for ?
If you know anything about law, the rule of law, you wouldn't be say what you are saying.
Given that he hasn't been charged, Metueh has no obligation to make statements that may incriminate himself, considering that he doesn't the motive and the direction of this blind fishing expedition.

But, why hasn't he been charged, and where in the civilised world is a person held for more than 48hrs without being charged?

Holding him, with the hope of breaking his spirit is malicious prosecution, and only shows that EFCC doesn't do their homework, their investigative due diligence before arresting a suspect.

There is Absolutely no doubt in my mind that Metuh is a political prisoner.

It's important to note that since 1999 , Nigeria has not had a political prisoner till this present regime.

Only in Nigeria a thief makes himself chief and what these political idiots lack is self-sincerity
