u said a thief is being hailed y the tinubu nd amechi are not thief if u said he stole take him to court to prove that we are not diff from the time of abacha where people are killed for crime they did nt commit
if u have anything against tinubu or ameichi go to efcc neither am i saying they are saints. But if catch a thief today and u are crying foul, by tomorow when tinubu or any other person is caught his own surporters will also be crying foul. How will nigeria move forward? Or are saying these people sharing our resources they have right to it?

Why can't EFCC drill this man with needle in his manhood so that he will tell us the way he spent the so called money Jonathan directed to be given to him?

Why is Mertuh claiming that he is not a thief? He is a thief. Let him come to the world and tell the same person who is giving out this statement how he spent the said money.

Let Jonathan and Ngozi Okonjo Iweala be invited to say something about this whole Dasuki issue. This is something that cannot be swept under the carpet.

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.
go and sit down. This is Nigeria where there is no democracy and abnormalities has become nomalcy. Or u want to use style and tell us that you're in the USA, Oya clap for yourself. I support Metuh

Baba please don't mind these IPOB touts, they started with GEJ till 2019 and now Biafra. I'm a proud Igbo man(call me whatever) but who cares.
Baba use any means to hit those looters so others can learn.
IPOB touts hate Hausas and Yorubas but Saraki, Dasuki, Tompolo and numerous non Igbos are now Igbos and they can die for them.
They say you're a dictator, tyrant etc but we love it, use any means to hit them to cry the more.
As for Olisa Metuh my brother, he's seen nothing yet, treat those touts protesting for him next time as those Shi'ite you messed up last time.
We must reformat those IPOB touts' brains.

YES. It is possible. Was ibori james not detained for a year until the court decided his case? All these hypocrital sentiment should stop. A lot of poor people are in police custody without trial. Dasuki should not be an excemptn, a thief is a thief.
Listen to yourself is Ibori a citizen? How many of their citizens do they treat so?
Well since its ok by you I pray any of your relative/love one that accused of such act irrespective of big or small amount (thief na thief small or big) should receive same treatment. If you are not sentimental just say amen without giving conditions

To do an assignment for the Presidency, the Presidency paid N400 million into the accounts of Metuh's company.
What Metuh said could be true. Even this Buhari Presidency can ask anybody's to do some assignment for it and the Presidency pays the person through his company.

It's not stealing or corruption.

If this government had allowed the court to examine these things, instead of locking people up in the guardroom like in a military dictatorship.

Re: Metuh Speaks About His Ordeal In The Hands Of EFCC by billyG(m): 10:51pm On Jan 13, 2016

Adeyanju Deji, the Peoples Democratic Party’s director of new media, has narrated how he visited Olisa Metuh, the PDP’s spokesperson, who was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) last week.

Deji further quoted Metuh saying: “They have tried to blackmail & spoil my name. Just imagine all they have said about me. Telling lies against me.

“First they said I was collecting N5million Naira monthly from office of NSA, imagine if u were my staff how u will feel hearing that. Imagine how all the news people & my staff working with me felt when they heard I was collecting N5milion Naira from Dasuki. They will say so this man was a wicked man. So he was collecting money from Dasuki & other places & was always telling us no money.

“Then they said I received N1.4billion, another big lie. All what they wanted was for everybody to see me like a common thief & hate me.


“Finally they came back to say I only got N400million. I have made a statement that former president asked me to do an assignment 4 him. In my statement, I stated that former president Jonathan gave me an assignment, he asked for an account & I gave him my company account. I got N400m which I used for the job he asked me to do. I gave a report to him of job done & he was satisfied. I have a copy of the report I submitted to the former president. EfCC asked me who I shared the money to & said it’s not their buz.

“That if they have any evidence against me, they should charge me to court. I have not called anyone’s name & will never call anyone. It is not a crime to carry out an assignment for a president & successfully do it as well. I have no regrets.

“They asked me for a copy of my report to the former president. I asked them are they the Court? I stated in my statement that it is a lie that I was collecting N5m Naira monthly from Dasuki or anyone in GEJ’s government. I stated they should investigate me thoroughly. If I have ever received any kobo from any parastatal or agency then I will plead guilty.”

Deji noted that Metuh commended the PDP and all members of the party for the great job during the governorship elections in Bayelsa state.


Continuing his narration, Metuh was quoted to have said:

“Imagine the EFCC boss sent my lawyer to me to ask me to return some of the money from the N400m. Unbelievable.

“Deji this government are not interested in democracy or civil liberty at all. You are guilty once they say so.

“Reason why they are doing media trials is because they have noting to offer this nation. That’s why they are doing this Telemundo.

“All what we told them is the same thing the IMF woman came to tell them. We told them u can’t borrow to fund 2016 budget. What we told them about Dollar is what they have finally agreed to do now. They have no ideas or clue about governance.

“They don’t believe in democracy or the notion of “innocent before proven guilty.” They want to silent every critic.”

Metuh u hav been Reharsing this statement months b4 they arrest u,knowing Dasuki will surely mention yur name,we know that u wailed loudest when Dasuki was arrested,u are a hardened Thief,so u collected #400milln & u are oweing yur workers 4 months b/c u hav not hit d trillion mark abi?Jona giv u job,jona giv u money b/c u knows jona is Dumb abi?

At times I have to wonder if some of you are mischievous or just insane. It might be the fact that up till this day most of your homes are still painted with lead? Perhaps lack of folic acid during pregnancy? Or maybe just something as simple as not having consumed enough milk while growing up? Those things do stunt mental growth,you know?

Now go back and read what I initially posted.

My gripe was with how the Nigerian System handles pretrial detainees. That's why most of their cases get screwed up; allowing them cell phones and access to all kinds of visitors and outside communication. EVEN IN COURT, You see them with cell phones and holding forte like mob bosses surrounded by their friends, family and hanger ons.

When you are in Government custody, you should be properly controlled lest the case gets jeopardized through intermediaries --- as is happening now as we can see from the above article. This is not a comic show, this is serious business--- these are the people accused of bringing the most influential black nation on earth to its knees through corruption, greed, nepotism and neglect of the Constitution which they swore to protect thereby jeopardizing the lives AND livelihoods of the ordinary citizens . Whether you know it or not,setting Nigeria back affects the rest of Africa AND the entire black race the world over

I do not remember President Buhari proclaiming anyone guilty. I do remember him supporting why certain people should not be allowed out on bail pending trial,and I quite agree with him.

Was his Statement "Prejudicial"? Perhaps, in a normal country where the system works, but Nigeria is not a normal country and the system doesn't work. So, some sort of guidance is needed and that's exactly what I see the President doing. Let's not forget that decisions had already been made and carried out BEFORE President Buhari made his statement on television , all he did was voice his support for the action.

It seems to me you are naive to the workings of the Judicial system, and as such I would encourage you to go read up on the terms "Flight Risk" and "Danger to Society" in Bail proceedings. The men you are staking your neck out for fit those terms to the T! They do not deserve to be released pending trial.

I do not know which pieces of evidence the Prosecution has on Mr.Metuh, neither do you, so I would refrain from replying that part of your post where you pretended to your audience as if you are privy to more info than has been revealed to the public. But, just so you know, not every evidence has to be physical, you can get convicted off "circumstantial" evidence.

Finally, what the hell has this all got to do with "Shooting protesters"? What in heaven are you referring to? I'm lost.
