Embattled spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh today tore a statement he voluntarily made to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission regarding his alleged involvement in the $2.1billion arms fraud being investigated by the anti-graft agency.
Those familiar with the matter told PREMIUM TIMES Mr. Metuh tore the statement after it was presented to him by the investigating officer for endorsement, as part of preparations for his prosecution.
“Rather than sign the document, Metuh on realising the weight of his confession, seized the documents and proceeded to tear them,” one of our sources said. He added that the PDP spokesperson later tried to stuff the papers into his mouth in a bid to swallow them when he was stopped by operatives who managed to recovered the torn pieces of papers from him.
Another source in the EFCC said the attempt by Mr. Metuh to destroy a major evidence in the case against him was an offence which could attract a separate charge in court. “The tearing of statement is tantamount to willful destruction of government property and it is a serious offence,” the official said. “Also the fact that he obstructed operatives from performing their job is also a criminal offence. We will explore the possibility of filling a separate charge against him at the Federal Capital Territory High Court.” For more scintillating and juicy stories, follow the official Naijapals accounts On Twitter - https://twitter.com/Naijapals and Facebook - www.facebook.com/naijapals

Is obvious that Mr Dasuki used the money that is made for arms purchase for PDP campaign and APC governors also used their own state money to campaigned for their own party too, because they could not pay salary after they won presidential election, so why prosecuting only PDP members if there is any truth in fighting corruption.

GUY STOP TALKING TRASH. IS IT EVERYTHING YOU WILL MENTION TRIBE. SECONDLY, IS THERE ANYONE QUIZZES BY EFFCC EVER COMPLAINED THEY PUBLISHED SOMETHING HE DIDN'T SAY? IS METU THE FIRST TO BE QUESTIONED AND DETAINED BY EFCC? WHY IS HE THE ONLY ONE GOING ON HUNGER STRIKE? SINCE THIS CORRUPTION INVESTIGATION STARTED, HAVE YOU HEARD ANYONE DETAINED BY EFCC THAT WAS LATER FOUND NOT TO BE CORRUPT? AM NOT A YORUBA BUT ITS VERY WRONG TO CALL ANY TRIBE HOPELESS.

@ Freethinker: However, since you have failed to stop your racial attack on Yoruba tribe here, all these curses will come on you and overtake you: 1. You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country. 2. Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed. 3. The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. 4. The Lord will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin 5. The Lord will cause you and your generation to be defeated before your enemies (Yoruba). You will come at us from one direction but flee from us (Yoruba) in seven. SO SHALL IT BE TO YOU AND YOUR GENERATION IN JESUS NAME.
