Ill health stalls metuh trial #

It appears that the trial of Olisah Metuh, a former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been stalled due to ill health.

According to reports, Metuh's lawyer, Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN), informed the court that his client was not feeling well and was unable to attend the trial. The court subsequently adjourned the case to a later date to allow Metuh to recover.

Metuh is facing a seven-count charge of money laundering and illegal possession of firearms, among other allegations. The trial has been ongoing for several years, with Metuh's health issues being a recurring theme.

It's worth noting that Metuh has been suffering from a chronic illness, which has affected his ability to attend court hearings and participate in the trial. His lawyers have repeatedly sought adjournments to allow him to receive medical treatment, which has led to delays in the trial.

The case is being monitored by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which is seeking to prosecute Metuh for alleged financial crimes. The outcome of the trial is expected to have significant implications for Metuh's political career and reputation.
