EFCC Tells Court to Revoke Metuh's Bail, Send Him to Prison

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has asked a Federal High Court in Abuja to revoke the bail granted to former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, and send him to prison.

Metuh is standing trial for allegedly receiving N400 million from the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) during the 2015 presidential election.

The EFCC made the request in a motion filed before the court, citing Metuh's alleged failure to comply with the terms of his bail.

According to the commission, Metuh has been absent from court proceedings since January 2018, despite being granted bail on November 9, 2016.

The EFCC argued that Metuh's absence from court is a clear indication that he is not taking his trial seriously and is therefore not entitled to the benefit of bail.

The commission prayed the court to revoke Metuh's bail and commit him to prison pending the conclusion of his trial.

The court has yet to fix a date for the hearing of the EFCC's motion.

Metuh's counsel, Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN), could not be reached for comment.

It would be recalled that Metuh was granted bail in 2016 on the condition that he would not travel outside the country and would attend all court proceedings.

However, Metuh has been absent from court since January 2018, citing health reasons.

The EFCC has been seeking to revoke Metuh's bail since 2018, but the court has consistently adjourned the matter to allow for further negotiations between the parties.

The trial of Metuh has been ongoing for several years, with the EFCC presenting several witnesses to testify against him.

Metuh has consistently denied any wrongdoing and has accused the EFCC of persecuting him.
