SAN FRANCISCO, January 28, (THEWILL) – Chief Olisa Metuh, Publicity Secretary and Spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has regained his freedom.
Metuh met his bail conditions, as stipulated by the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, and was subsequently released.
Metuh was arrested and detained by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on allegations of diversion of security funds – Dasukigate, and money laundering.
He was also charged for tampering with evidence as he allegedly made attempts to destroy his statement by chewing it.
His party, the PDP had accused the government of selective trial saying Metuh’s incarceration was a ploy to gag the opposition.
