OLISA METUH IN EFCC CUSTODY
Olisa Metuh, national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is currently in the custody of the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to “clear some issues”.
Asked about the development, Wilson Uwujaren, EFCC’s head of media and publicity, simply said: “I don’t have information on that.”
However, Richard Ihediwa, special assistant to Metuh, released a statement to describe Metuh’s version of events.
“Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrived the Abuja home of the spokesman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh this morning, inviting him to follow them to the commission’s headquarters,” he said.
“Upon enquiry on the reasons for the invitation, the officials stated that he has some issues to clear with the commission. They also said he
was not being arrested but friendlily invited. The operatives, four in number, came in a White unmarked Toyota Hiace bus.
“As at the time of issuing this statement, Chief Metuh is still being kept at the commission’s headquarters and his lawyers are making
frantic efforts to reach him.
