FG slams 7-count charge on Olisa Metuh

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Thursday, filed a seven-count charge against the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh.

The charge, which was filed before a Federal High Court in Abuja, has, however, not been assigned to any judge.

Meanwhile, the PDP spokesman has filed a suit for the enforcement of his fundamental right, asking the court to order his release from the custody of the EFCC.

EFCC, through its counsel, Rotimi Jacobs (SAN), told Justice Okon Abang that the anti-graft agency has a valid order of the court to detain Metuh.

The court adjourned till January 20 for hearing of the substantive suit.
