PDP National Publicity Secretary Olisa Metuh arrives court in handcuffs, granted N400M bail.

The Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, yesterday, granted bail to the embattled National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Olisa Metuh, to the tune of N400 million.

Metuh, who was on Friday remanded in Kuje Prison by Justice Okon Abang, was brought to court yesterday in handcuffs.
He is answering to a seven-count criminal charge preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
His firm, Destra Investment Limited, was also charged before the court over alleged N400 million fraud involving the Office of the National Security Adviser.
Specifically, EFCC, alleged that Metuh had in November 2014, collected N400 million from the erstwhile National Security Adviser, NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd).

The fund which was withdrawn from an account the Office of the NSA operated with the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, was allegedly transferred to Metuh through account no. 0040437573 which Destra Investments Limited operated with Diamond Bank Plc.
EFCC insisted that whereas the fund was earmarked for campaign activities of the PDP, it said that Metuh diverted most of it to his personal use.
It alleged that Metuh converted part of the money to $1 million which he used for his personal business.
Besides, Metuh was alleged to have transferred N21.7 million to another chieftain of the PDP, Chief Tony Anenih.
