According to Thisday, the EFCC has finalised plans to arraign the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP today after keeping him for more than one week in its custody.
Thisday gathered wednesday that Metuh, who was picked up at his Abuja residence on January 5, will be arraigned before Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court (FHC), Abuja.
The PDP spokesman was arrested by the EFCC for allegedly collecting N400 million from the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd), a charge he has denied.
Metuh, before his arrest, had confirmed that he collected an undisclosed sum of money from former President Goodluck Jonathan in order to carry out some assignments as the spokesperson for the then ruling PDP.
Since his arrest, his detention has been challenged by the PDP, which has demanded that he be released or charged to court without delay.
Similarly, the PDP caucus in the House of Representatives on Tuesday issued an ultimatum to the commission to release Metuh from its custody.
Its ultimatum followed a lawsuit instituted by a Lagos lawyer and human rights activist, Mr. Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, at the Federal High Court in Lagos asking the court to order the immediate release of Metuh from EFCC custody. (Thisday)
