Former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Olisa Metuh, is set to resume his trial on Tuesday been tomorrow, before a Federal High Court in Abuja after been on suspension for about six months.

Justice Okon Abang on Monday fixed Tuesday for continuation of the trial after dismissing Metuh’s application for stay of proceedings in obedience to the June 9, 2017, ruling of the Supreme Court.

The judge, also in a separate ruling, dismissed another application seeking the release of the Metuh’s passport which is in the court’s custody.

“In the light of this, the matter is adjourned until 1 pm on June 20, 2017, for further hearing of the first defendant’s case.”
