Court Refuses Evidence Against Metuh
Channels Television.
MetuhAn FCT High Court has refused the evidence of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Mr Olisa Metuh over alleged destruction of statements.

Justice Ishaq Bello ruled that the evidence, which is a pocket notebook entry of an EFCC investigator, could only be tendered and admitted through a certified through copy.

Earlier, EFCC counsel, Sylvanus Tahir, had sought to tender the pocket book entry of Sa’ad Junaid, the operative who investigated the case, but defence counsel Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN) requested the prosecution to produce the certified true copy of the notebook as provided in the Evidence Act, which he could not produce.

The trial judge then declined to admit the pocket notebook as evidence.

The EFCC had on January 21, 2016 arraigned Metuh on two-count charges of attempting to destroy evidence to be used for his trial in the allegation of receiving 400 million Naira from the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Colonel Sambo Dasuki (Rtd) for which he has already been arraigned in another court.

The anti-graft commission’s charge stated that Metuh “tore into pieces statement made under caution” contrary to Section 326 of the penal code and punishable under section 327 of the same code.

The case has been adjourned to March 16 for continuation of hearing.

I pity all the zombies! Metu will come out of this persecution stronger!


Note: As i am speaking with you now, there's an ongoing political realignment between aggrieved APC political big weights, and some PDP Political Amadas.

APC will not survive beyond 2019, watch and see!

So EFCC decides to bring somebody's jotta to court as evidence, imagine the callousness plus insult to our judiciary."nothing person no go see for this country".

Meaning the lawyers on their payroll are just earning free money for doing virtually nothing.

Tomorrow someone will open his mouth that he uses to eat massa and drink kunu to say that the judiciary is his headache in fighting corruption. Now u see the prosecution failing to follow laid down procedure to tender evidence in court. A diligent defense counsel caught on it and objected accordingly and the court has so upheld. Naturally the court will not countenance such or attach any probative value to evidence not properly tendered.

Those that do not understand the judicial and legal proceedings will come out and say that it is because the judge was appointed by PDP or by the former PDP govt, especially if with diligent defense, Metuh is discharged by the court. They forget that judicial proceedings are not cut and nail and when they are faced with the inability to follow due process and secure a guilty verdict, they say the courts are biased or compromised.

Some will probably come and ask for the High Court to be scrapped as they foolishly demanded same for the Supreme Court because they did not allow illegality to stand as was about to be done by the Court of Appeal.
