The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has asked the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, to look into the continuous refusal of bail to the party’s national spokesperson, Chief Olisa Metuh.

Metuh , who is currently on trial for allegedly collecting N400m from the office of the National Security Adviser, had been appealing to the court in order for him to travel abroad for medical treatment.

The PDP said in the spirit of democracy and freedom, Metuh should be allowed to enjoy his fundamental human rights.

Appealing to the CJN in a statement issued on Sunday by its spokesperson, Gani Taofik, the PDP asked Mohammed to give his opinion on the denial of the request by Metuh.

The party said in view of Metuh’s family ties to the country, he would not run away in order to evade trial.

The PDP said, “We ask the state not to take the ordinary prosecution to be a persecution as the whole efforts would be defeated if, God forbid, the defendant becomes permanently incapacitated due to lack of medical care for his peculiar ailments.

“He (Metuh) has survived several attacks and we think that this prosecution should not turn into persecution. We are of the belief that it is not the wish of the judicial system that a defendant dies or is permanently incapacitated during trial in circumstances that are ordinarily avoidable. Olisa Metuh is a lawyer and is aware of the implication of jumping bail. He is not likely to jump bail. We appeal that justice should be tempered with mercy as this is very appropriate in this circumstance.

“For the Federal Government not to kill the opposition, this (May 29) celebration is an auspicious moment to allow Metuh enjoy medical care in any place of his choice. This is a strong appeal to the conscience of the trial judge, the prosecutor and, indeed, the Chief justice of Nigeria to have a second consideration for the full bail of Chief Metuh, who is obviously very ill and unable to continue the rigours of the trials.”

See reason abeg! These yam eaters are very funny and unserious.

His brother in Akwa Ibom has a world class hospital, so there is no cause for alarm...

Wicked people.

What is the nature of his sickness? They should let us know. I believe it's not what our teaching hospitals and National Hospital, Abuja can't handle.

Why did he partake in d sharing...he must face d outcome. He should treat himself in Nigeria here, abeg.
Dasuki was also denied going abroad for treatment, yet he is healthy and strong in d custody.

Ni mercy for a thief

Mercy for those that have no mercy for the lives of over 170million Nigerians? Okay o

See let's face the fact, we have very good private hospitals in Nigeria, national hospital Abuja that Jonathan spent billions on can check u up
If u don't want it drop the equivalent of the 400 million now, which is close to a billion naira
And we will beg effcc for u

Metuh is going no where till the case is decided. PDP should advice him to cooperate with the court to ensure the case is speedily disposed off. If Metuh and his legal team had not been prolonging the case with frivolous applications, maybe the case would have been decided by now.

Jaraworldsms:
He should be granted bail please for the health reason.

useless post bail kor bale ni

I have said it before, and I will say it again: PDP has learnt nothing from their past woes. Its still the same set of corrupt thieves running the party. What a shame!

They've resorted to begging since eating up papers like he ate Yams, pretending to be sick and trying blackmail the government didn't work.

Lock up the recalcitrant Ugandan I say!!
