Metuh finally admits receiving N400m from Jonathan, but…

National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh, has finally revealed to the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, his role in the alleged arms diversion scandal.

Metuh, who’s being detained by the EFCC, released a statement through his Special Assistant, Richard Ihediwa, in Abuja on Tuesday.

The opposition spokesperson denied the reports that he refused to respond to the interrogation of the EFCC.

He revealed that former President Goodluck Jonathan gave him N400m for a job which he executed to completion.

He however refused to disclose the assignment which he carried out for the President, stressing that he would only do that in court.

“This office wishes to state categorically that Chief Metuh has fully cooperated with investigators within his constitutionally guaranteed rights.

“In exercise of his rights, he has since given his statement to the EFCC wherein he submitted that he received the sum of N400m from the former President for an assignment, which he executed to the satisfaction of the former President.

“In further exercise of his rights, Metuh has also indicated his readiness to make public the nature of this assignment, but only in an open court in line with the laws of the land, and where his statement would not be distorted by anybody.”

“Metuh, therefore, believes that his continued incarceration and failure to charge him to court are deliberately intended to prevent him from telling his own story in the open court for all Nigerians to know.”
