The Former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, on Monday, arrived the Federal High Court in an ambulance and on a stretcher.
Recall that Metuh’s lawyer, Emeka Etiaba, had told the court during last month’s court appearance that Metuh was on admission at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital and could not appear in court.
But the Justice Okon Abang had issued a threat that Metuh appears in court today or be arrested.
Metuh who has been receiving treatment at the hospital, however, arrived the court in the hospital’s ambulance and on a stretcher.
Metuh is standing trial over allegations of receiving N400 million from the former National Security Adviser, retired Col. Sambo Dasuki and also money laundering charges involving $2 billion.
Lead counsel to Metuh, Dr. Onyechi Ikpeazu, had told the court that all attempts to persuade Metuh’s doctor to give a time-frame within which Chief Metuh could be fit for trial proved abortive. He, therefore, asked the court to give Chief Metuh at least one-month adjournment so as to enable him to get fit and continue with his trial.
