Update court convicts metuh on count one over money laundering

It appears that you are referring to the recent court verdict involving Olisa Metuh, a former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nigeria.

According to reports, the Federal High Court in Abuja has convicted Olisa Metuh on count one of the charges brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The charge was related to money laundering.

Here is a summary of the verdict:

• Olisa Metuh was found guilty of money laundering on count one of the charges brought against him by the EFCC.
• The court convicted Metuh of using N400 million (approximately $1.1 million) from the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) for personal purposes, which is a violation of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act.
• The court also ordered Metuh to forfeit the sum of N400 million to the Federal Government.
• Metuh was, however, acquitted on counts two to seven of the charges, which related to other alleged financial crimes.

It is worth noting that Metuh has been in custody since 2016, pending the outcome of his trial. His conviction on count one is a significant development in the case, and it is likely to have implications for his future legal proceedings.
