A Federal High Court in Abuja has reportedly found the former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, guilty of N400 million fraud thereby sentencing him to seven years imprisonment. Metuh is on trial over allegations of diversion of arms funds from the Office of the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki.
Metuh and his company, Destra Investment Ltd were in 2016 charged on seven counts of money laundering by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission after he allegedly received the sum of N400m arms fund from the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki. Justice Okon Abang had fixed the date after listening to the final written addresses of the parties in the matter.
