Metuh's Firm, 77 Others Received N1.4bn for Doing Nothing - ONSA Official

A witness in the ongoing trial of PDP Spokesman, Olisa Metuh has testified that the accused person’s company was listed among alleged beneficiaries of the arms funds.

A document, tendered through an official of the ONSA, Bali Ndam, was said to have been issued by former NSA, Sambo Dasuki, to the Abuja branch of the Central Bank of Nigeria, authorizing payment of various sums of money running into N1.4billion.

The document stated that the ONSA paid Metuh for providing “three operational vehicles.”

Bali Ndam, a legal officer with the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), testified before a Federal High Court in Abuja that Metuh’s Destra Investment Ltd was listed as number three among the companies and individuals that were paid for contracts not approved by the ONSA.

“What is written on the document is payment for security services,” Ndam, a Legal Adviser at the ONSA, said while testifying in the case. Ndam was led in evidence by lead prosecution lawyer, Sylvanus Tahir.
