The national leadership of the Peoples
Democratic Party has said that it will not provide sureties for its
National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh.
The party said since Metuh was being
prosecuted for offences that have nothing to do with it, its embattled
spokesperson should look for those who would stand as sureties for him.
Deputy National Publicity Secretary of
the PDP, Alhaji Abdullahi Jalo said
on Friday in Abuja that it would be wrong for anyone to be expecting the
party to provide sureties for Metuh when the party did not benefit from
the money he allegedly collected from the former National Security
Adviser, Lt Col. Sabo Dasuki (retd.).
Metuh is facing charges for allegedly
collecting N400m from Dasuki, an offence the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission described as money laundering.
Though Metuh said he actually collected the money, he said it was for a job he did for former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Metuh has, however, remained silent on the type of job he allegedly did for the former President.
