The embattled National Publicity Secretary of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Olisa Metuh, was on Tuesday produced by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in handcuffs at an Abuja court, for his on-going N400Million alleged corrupt practices. He looked relaxed yet unkempt, having not shaved in days.
Justice Abang Okon of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja had ordered that Metuh should be remanded in the prison upon his arraignment last Friday.
Before his arraignment, Metuh had been in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, which is prosecuting him for collecting N400 million out of the $2.1 billion meant for the purchase of arms and ammunition to fight the Boko Haram insurgency.
Justice Okon said Metuh should be remanded in Kuje Prisons until January 19 when the case would be heard.
He is accused of having received N400 million out of the $2.1 billion meant for the purchase of arms from a former National Security Adviser, retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki.
