The brother of the immediate past National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party,(PDP) Chief Olisa Metuh, Chief Gilbert Metuh has disclosed that the Metuh family is ready to refund the N400m, allegedly collected from the office of the former National Security Adviser, Lt.Col. Sabo Dasuki (retd), which has led to Metuh’s prosecution by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) .
Chief Metuh, who issued the statement on behalf of the Metuh family, said that they are aware that the matter regarding their son was subjudice, but had to react to issues that were in public glare, and the fact that their brother’s life was in danger because of his purported spinal cord injury.
“Since his (Metuh’s) arrest and even up to about a week ago, our son has made several overtures to the arresting authority for him to refund the money since they now claim in court that it came from government coffers. All efforts have been unsuccessful.
“It is instructive that out of over 300 names listed as having received money from the ONSA, all those who offered to refund money were not arraigned in court.
“Our son is the only one whose offer to refund money was rejected and has been arraigned in court and his case given accelerated hearing. On each trial date the hostility in the courtroom is palpable.’ he reiterated.
