A detective with the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, Junaid Sa’id, told a Federal High Court in
Abuja on Tuesday that the $2m allegedly laundered by the spokesperson
for the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh, was part of the N10bn
which the immediate past National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki
(retd.), released for the party’s presidential convention in 2014.
The then President Goodluck Jonathan was adopted as the party’s sole candidate at the said convention.
Metuh and his company, Destra
Investments Limited, are being prosecuted by the EFCC for allegedly
receiving N400m in a fraudulent manner from the ONSA in November, 2014
and also on charges of money laundering of cash transaction involving
$2m.
The EFCC had called as its first
prosecution witness, Nneka Ararume, a former employee of Asset and
Resource Management Company Limited, who narrated how Metuh handed her
the $2m in $100 bills at his house in the Prince and Princess Estate,
Abuja.
The protest embarked on
by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, over the prolonged detention
of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, yesterday, turned bloody in Aba, Abia
State, as a combined team of security agents, comprising soldiers and
policemen allegedly fired shots at the protesters, killing six members
