How Metuh transferred N21.8m to Anenih – EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said that the former Chairman of the Board of Trustee of the Peoples Democratic Party, Tony Anenih received N21.8 million from the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh.

According to the EFCC, the money was from the office of the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

The N21.8 million is said to be different from the N260 million that was paid to Anenih by the ONSA.

The EFCC made the fresh allegations in a separate set of charges of misappropriation of arms funds, filed against Dasuki and others before Justice Baba Yusuf of the  Federal Capital Territory High Court, Maitama.

Anenih was again named as one of the beneficiaries of the N400 million collected by Metuh from the Office of the National Security Adviser.

In the fresh charges, Metuh and Destra allegedly transferred the sum of N21.8 million to Anenih and they (Metuh and Destra) thereby committed an offence contrary to section 15(2) (b) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 (as amended in 2012) and punishable under section 15(3) of the same Act.

The EFCC alleged in the last and seventh count that out of the N400m collected from the  NSA office, Metuh transferred the sum of N21,776,000 to Anenih on December 4, 2014.

“That you, Olisa Metuh and Destra Investments Limited on December 4, 2014 did transfer the sum of N21,776,000 being part of the sum of N400m which directly represented the unlawful activity of Colonel Mohammed Sambo Dasuki, the then National Security Adviser, (to wit: breach of trust and corruption), to Chief Tony Anenih and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 15(2) (b) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 (as amended in 2012 and punishable under section 15(3) of the same Act,” the count seven reads.
