Read their statement below...
The Metuh family - the Obi-Ezeani-Nnewi- has noted with grave concern the continued incarceration of their Diokpa and spokesperson of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chief Olisa Metuh (Ugochidebelu Nnewi) since his arrest Tuesday by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Whereas
the charges for which Chief Metuh is being detained for over 48 hours
now have not been formally made known to the family and the general
public, we have noted some sensational publications in a section of
the media claiming that our son collected the sum of N1.4 billion
from the arms deal cash and has been collecting N4 million monthly as
from the Office of the former National Security Adviser.
We
have confronted our son with this allegations and he assured us that
they are completely false.
However,
he acknowledged that in the course of his duties as the National
Publicity Secretary of the PDP, the then leader of the party and
President of the country directed him to carry out some urgent
national assignment relating to his office, which the former
President duly funded and which he duly carried out to the
satisfaction of the former President.
The
family therefore views the publications bandying the figure of N1.4
billion and alleged collection of N4 million stipend from the Office
of the NSA as deliberate blackmail aimed at inflaming public
sentiments against our son.
Our
biggest concern for now is the health and safety of our son, who even
before his arrest has alerted the nation about various threats to his
life, a stance that is not unconnected to his position as the
spokesperson of the opposition. Our position is more so as he has
refused to eat following fears of intentions to poison him in
detention.
In
view of the above therefore, we DEMAND that the EFCC immediately
release our son, Chief Metuh (Ugochidebelu Nnewi) from detention or
charge him to court.
Signed:
Chief
Gilbert Metuh,
for
and on behalf of
The
Obi-Ezeani- Nnewi
Dont release pls..!

ReplyDeleteYou see how our country has become a joke? Metuh now has a family? All the young men awaiting trial all over the country do not have families? We on social media have encouraged impunity. We have taken sides, 'us' & 'them'.Now lawlessness is growing. Families are asking silly questions for people indicted on corruption.In China, they all would have been shot.We the youth should thread carefully, we would destroy our country & society. All the elites you see have dual citizenship. Olisa Metuh already has the citizenship of st. Kitts & Nives

ReplyDeleteHehehehehehe I now see the reason why these bigwigs from the opposition never wanted the peoples general to be president.They tried all they could with their campaign of calumny just to see that the beacon of hope for the common man doesn't become the C in C.Olisah Metuh if found guilty must answer for his crimes.

ReplyDeleteonce a dictator always a dictator. ...#the worst is that he doesn't even respect court pronouncements
ReplyDeleteYes! It is a violation of his right. He has been detained by the EFFC 4 more than 48hours. Y?
ReplyDeleteWhat about the poor ones who have spent years there... " poor wet steal maggi we dry see em face for crime fighter, rich men wet steal billion dollars we no they see their faces for crime fighter. Those days are gone... Anyone wey steal now we must see the face. Tell metuh to put his face well make Camera cover him proper. (The year of reword ) Na God win.

ReplyDeleteHe should either be charged or released on conditions. This is not the khaki era.
ReplyDeletewhen dem dey chop money dey sing "JONA JONA" dem nor know say e go red one day. E don red na.. PDP share the money. All of una go chop una eye
ReplyDeletewhy keep him in custody...abeg release him joor
ReplyDeletewhen a rich man is arrested every body knows the law then... and start shouting release.... Do U know how many poor people who ve spent years in the most sad prison without been released or charge to court??? Just because they steal a goat or N10,000. What's wrong about making this rich fool thieves understand the worth of their crime?? To the family; if not because corruption was legalized during Jonathan it would've been a big shame having a criminal as a family member... The time of celebrating corruption and given its partakers chieftaincy titles is over.. Now is time for the criminally rich people to pay for their sins and for the fact that ur son is part of it shouldn't change the good work of our CHANGE.. He should better do the needful. I feel good now..Na God win... God bless Buhari..
ReplyDelete<<100%Nigerian>>
