A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to the spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Olisa Metuh, on the condition that he pays N400 million as bond.
 
Mr. Metuh is to also submit his international passport, and must provide two sureties with N200 million each. The sureties must have properties in Maitama district of Abuja.
 
 
Ironically the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is trying Metuh on seven count charges of breach of public trust, corrupt acquisition of public funds and money laundering to the exact tune of N400m which he now has to cough out in bonds to gets bail, but which he has pleaded not guilty to.
 
The PDP spokesperson was taken to court on Tuesday in handcuffs.
 
He is accused of receiving N400 million from an arms money diverted by the office of the National Security Adviser.
 
Mr. Metuh has been in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for about two weeks.
