The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has declared that Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Spokesman, Chief Olisa Metuh will only be released when he refunds over N400m he received from former National Security Adviser, Col Sambo Dasuki, retd.
Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mr Ibrahim Magu made the declaration while addressing criticisms of witch-hunting of opposition PDP leaders following the release of APC's Jafaru Isa by the Commission.
Magu said that Isa was released because he started paying back the money he received from the Office of the National Security Adviser, ONSA.
”From the records, Metuh got over N400 million, he has not said anything because we need the public money to be returned so that it’s going to be used for public good."
“Also Jafaru Isa, what Dasuki gave him was N170 million. He also agreed…of course he has collected that money, he was with us for 4-5 days and then he made a deposit of N100 million and entered an undertaking to bring the rest. That does not mean we will not prosecute him.”
“But this other Metuh, instead of going for a refund, he has admitted he collected money…. so instead of… he still has the money because the money is too much. Instead of returning the money, he preferred to go on hunger strike.”
