How I Shared ₦400m From Dasuki – Olisa Metuh

A former National Publicity Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party, Chief Olisa Metuh, on Friday told a Federal High Court, Abuja, presided over by Justice Okon Abang, how he distributed the ₦400million he collected from the Office of the National Security Adviser under Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.) in 2014.

He stated that the fund was for “a special national assignment” in the run-up to the 2015 general elections.

Chief Olisa Metuh is facing prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission alongside his company, Destra Investment on seven-count bordering on money laundering to the tune of ₦400million.

The ex-PDP spokesman, who spoke under cross-examination by the prosecution counsel, told the court that there was never an instance where former President Goodluck Jonathan directly paid any money to him.

He said that the ₦400mn was for the national assignment as directed by the then president, a statement by the EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, said on Friday.
