The family of the immediate past
National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief
Olisa Metuh, has said that their son is ready to refund the N400m he
allegedly collected from the office of the former National Security
Adviser, Lt.Col. Sabo Dasuki (retd).
Chief Gilbert Metuh, who issued the
statement on behalf of the Metuh family, said his brother’s life was in
danger because of his alleged spinal cord injury.
He said that the family was aware that
the matter regarding their son was subjudice, but said the family was
only reacting to issues that were in public glare.
Gilbert Metuh said, “Since his (Metuh’s)
arrest and even up to about a week ago, our son has made several
overtures to the arresting authority for him to refund the money since
they now claim in court that it came from government coffers. All
efforts have been unsuccessful.
“It is instructive that out of over 300
names listed as having received money from the ONSA, all those who
offered to refund money were not arraigned in court.
“Our son is the only one whose offer to
refund money was rejected and has been arraigned in court and his case
given accelerated hearing. On each trial date the hostility in the
courtroom is palpable.
Metuh is currently being prosecuted by
the Economic and Financial Crime Commission for allegedly receiving the
money, which the prosecution said was from government purse.
