Is it really Buhari that jailed Olisa Metuh or Justice Abang? How some of you reason like this and are still able to type legibly is a miracle.

Where did you see Buhari in anything i wrote? You need further lessons in comprehension

The Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced a former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Olisa Metuh, to seven years in prison.

Justice Okon Abang handed down the sentence in his judgement on Tuesday on seven counts of money laundering and criminal diversion of funds to the tune of N400 million.

The charges were filed against Metuh and his company, Destra investment, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The trial judge sentenced Metuh after convicting him and found him guilty of all the charges brought against him by the anti-graft agency.

This followed a protracted trial of the former PDP spokesman which lasted about four years and witnessed a series of drama and adjournment over health-related matters.

Giving his judgement, Justice Abang sentenced Metuh to seven years imprisonment in respect to Counts One to Three.

On Count Four, the PDP spokesman was sentenced to five years while he got seven, three and seven years for Counts Five, Six, and Seven respectively.

He, however, held that all the sentences should run concurrently, with effect from February 25, 2020.

Meaning, the sentence shall run concurrently which implies that he would only spend the highest number of years of jail term, which is seven, in prison.

The trial judge also sentenced Dextra Investment to pay a fine of N25 million with respect to Counts Five and Six, while Metuh was also ordered to pay a fine of N375 million.

Justice Abang further ordered that the account of Dextra Investment should be forfeited to the Federal Government and the company be dissolved.

So you want PMB to prosecute Abba kyari? What did he steal? Even if he did what you were accusing him of he I am very sure the next government that will come to power will investigate him the same way this administration did to Metuh and Co.


As for Ganduje, he is a seating governor he has immunity only his house of assembly has the capacity to impeach him. Wait and see what will happen to him if his immunity expire.


So PMB is a prosecutor now?

Anyway, if i continue this debate, you will bring be down to your level and beat me with experience...and you know what you are experienced at.

If i call you the name, you will run to a mod and i will earn a ban so i will leave you to name yourself

I just wonder why No Northern Muslim of such status is in Jail. 2 former governors tried and jailed are christians

People are asking me if Buhari is the judge, No He is not the judge...No judge brings the accuse to court its the machinery with an agenda that charges them to those courts not the judges.

Those of you saying my post is divisive should know that Nigeria has been divided by Buhari already. Its a matter of time. Its a matter of time.

While Buhari held the chief supervisor of all looters who is a northerner and a core Muslim adherence, was it not you southerners and mostly Christians southerners that pressurised for released? Even your political magazine, the so-called Punch newspaper was used by you people to call Buhari with unprintable names.

hmm usually when a convicted felon has been under detention during his trial, the period of detention is deducted from his sentence. You may be right, no mention was made of time served.

I am not a northerner or a supporter of Bihari administration because he is a failure.
But looking for a northerner or Muslim to be jailed first before a Christian or southerner is jailed is very wrong.
Anyone who steals should be jailed, former of governor of plateau state is in jail now.
