The magnitude of financial crimes allegations against the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP has led to more interesting revelations as he has spent the night in the detention of the EFCC.
It was learnt that out of the $2.1 billion arms funds, N400 million was transferred from ONSA to the company on November 24, 2014 which previously had a balance of N6, 676,576.06 only before the major transfer from the Office of the National Security Adviser under Sambo Dasuki.
According to the Vanguard, a top source in the EFCC said that Metuh was also receiving a monthly pay of N4 million from ONSA.
The source said Metuh was likely to spend the night with them given the weight of financial transactions in ONSA traced to him and his company.
“We arrested Chief Metuh this morning (yesterday) and as we speak he is still being questioned and it is not likely that he will be released today.
“We want to finish the interrogation of Metuh at once, so that we can decide whether to charge him to court or let him to go,” the source said.
Metuh, has, however slammed his arrest by the EFCC, claiming that he was being persecuted.
“I have not done anything unlawful. Whatever I have done in pursuance of my office, I can defend it anywhere, any time,” Metuh said.
