This is the biggest corruption problems we have, when friends and family act ignorantly on truth. If the man is not an arms contractor/ security agent why should he be paid through that channel? Do doctors go collect their paycheck from a law chambers? I honestly think we need to appeal to our senses of morality and discernment on right and wrong. It is wrong to obtain money for a good job done through the wrong channel. The funny part is all of these accused try and pass the bulk on GEJ without proof, no document has so far indicted GEJ on the sharing of monies to these guys, the only document in circulation is the one that ask dasuki to obtain money to buy arms.

Olisa simply return our money, family in the future kindly probe the source of your patrons wealth. God bless us all as we make Nigeria work

Excellent comment. he collected 400 million from dasuki, and gave one Yusuf dollars worth 800 million naira to change and pay into his account. Yusuf is now on the run.

Hit them harder my GENERAL. This is the simple reason you got my vote. With this alone. You have my vote in 2019 if you decided to recontest.
When a popular Hausa musician was telling them MASU GUDU SU GUDU (let those who will run, Run). They thought it was a mere statement. It was only Madam smart Diezenni that hid to the advice.

Chanchit:
Lmao @ we've asked our son and he said the allegations were all false. But on a serious note where the president got the money from is non of his business and for people like Chief Metu, they should just collect the remaining change from him and let him go jare.

He got the money from dasuki through a transfer into his coy account...that's the issue...jona dint pay him directly...

akinsbaba2015:
The poor Olisa Metuh can't even take care of himself. Of all that were arrested, only his family is writing useless letters. They better start looking for N1billion bail for him ahead of arraignment in court as we understand that several of his cronies have gone out of circulation and he himself was about jetting out before the long arms of the law caught up with him. If you can't do the time don't do the CRIME.

While his cronies wia disappearing into tin air, passing thru underground tunnels across Nigeria borders, mr workholic was busy looking for chip propaganda to spew from his very empty inside to d open. I tink say e sharp sef. U c dat one wey him open teeth wide like d two combined lanes of 3rd mainland bridge own. dat ffk, make Una jus dey observe am. Him geepee tank go soon full

nigerians aint complainin and dats why u dont need visa to benin togo burkina faso chad niger mali senegal and other west african countries jus get ECOWAS passport dats all but dont think biafra o cx if u do u are on a long thing

Oloshi Metuh. No wonder he kept ranting all along.

englishmart:
free metu. Is it that anybody who opposes APC will undergo arrest? .

Maybe, anybody who opposes APC after eating our yam.

Now tell me, you are probably against APC but have you ever imagined that EFCC will invite/detain you? I guess not and this is only because you know you did not eat yam.

Whichever side you take, do well to stay away from yam.


#IAteNoYamSoIFearNothing.

Metuh himself know the truth. He has been anticipating this arrest since May 2015.
The family should just keep quiet and allow their son to explain the situation of his given assignments by the former president.

Keneking:
Nonsense write-up

Diokpa ko, okpa-eyin in.

They confronted him as if they are not beneficiaries (directly or indirectly) of the said amount. In a matter of time, those people that initiated this letter would be guests at EFCC

if metuh was ur father...smh..na poverty dey worry most people...if dem collect power from d devil give yu.u go hold.. d proceeds gotten from dasuki..where is it... guy be wise

Pidggin:
They've got him right where there want him, i doubt they will be releasing him any time soon.

all cos he spoke d truth? He spoke abt d budget, APC bats claim he was talking trash. Later ur dumb president withdraws it. It show Metuh is ways intelligent dat ur president. All I c is media accusation.

This is what happen when u don't train ur son, when son don't speak sense to his dad,when brothers re deceiving dere sibling..
#dasuki gate nah nih

Chei! Na him be say he would have to tell the elders the real status of his DSS vacation.

raumdeuter:
How come a political party secretary is the one doing national assignement

What happened to the army of ministers, Special advisers and Perm secs

I tire o, wetin be national assignment or duties set when our soldiers were not properly equipped to face boko haram

It is saddening that most of us aren't seeing what is being played here, the current administration is trying to silent the opposition eventually making this country one party. This is administration is similar to that of Olusegun Obasanjo, using the EFCC as a hunter. Eventually, most of us will be the 'Olisa Metuh' who will speak against the wrongs of this administration.

EternalTruths:
Buhari must follow court process or face ICC.

Na shrine or palmy joint EFCC go secure Metuh detention warrant?

[quote author=KingEbukasBlog post=41755308]Read statement released by the family :

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

1.4 bil for Assignment he can't even say... well just passing

I know why no APC politician has been apprehended for looting. It is because they loot intelligently. They cover their tracks perfectly well that to probe them will be like looking for a pin in a haystack. That's why they will always tell whoever complains to produce evidence. For example, what's the source of the funds for their extravagant campaigns ? APC Presidential Campaign Director answer it.
Let all of them from the president to the LG councillors swear on the Bible, Quran, Sango or Amadioha that they have never stolen public money. Let's see how many of them that will survive the oath. Nonsense.

This called family of Metuh, why not wait for the official statement from the EFCC before branding urselves as judge and jury.
There is case of criminal enrichment by your son and he has been invited by the anti graft agencies whats is the headache there.
I bet you he is not the only culprit there, he will definitely have his day in court, thats for sure.
So sit back and drink tumbo and kolanut

tuniski:
keep promoting lopsided hearing thinking u are anti corruption. Chanji is a scam and the propaganda won't stand fair trial. If found guilty let the law takes it cause. The emotion being displayed by many sai baba zombies is understandable cos buhari himself displayed such.

you guys are very gullible
do u think corruption wud ever be eradicated to an extent if it is fought with the normal system. The normal system is covered also by the so called friends of the corrupt individuals*friends in high places*

I have always wanted a leader who would not just fight corruption, but will fight it with fury.

"Baba go slow" has now turned to cries of "Baba slow down".

I have stolen nothing so I fear nothing.

Bros this your comment is the best I've seen in a long time

The emboldened part of your post is priceless

Thanks

Nigeria is a lucky country and we must all rally round Buhari

I concur

OreMI22:
God dey!

Soon Buhari will arrest my aged mother for kworruption because she voted for mimiko.

If she's involved in corruption, why not?

The money these guys shared is just thunderous. An average Nigeria that lives 100yrs might not be lucky to see what these guys are sharing.

Unfortunately your post reeks sentiments, frustration and no logic. Check
1. If APC politicians covered their tracks very well, then there's little we can do about it. If the PDP cannot commit to hire a forensic experts to unravel the trail of APC's alleged loot, then they are deemed innocent. The courts cannot base judgement on hearsay. That I believe Wikeleaks and his band of co-travelers fail to grasp

2. What is the source of APC's presidential campaign funds? They will tell you DONATIONS. Unfortunately our laws has not put a limit on campaign donations and if their is one, it has not been enforced. Ibori's lawyer, Chief Ayeni, donated a whooping 2 or 5billion to GEJ campaign. How do you reconcile that as sensible. But if we get forensic experts to dig deeper, some could explain the nexus of the same Chief Ayeni, winning the Nitel bid or a paltry 5billion, when the Nitel building could be worth same

3. Amaechi has said he's never collected a bribe. He was PDP. Has any PDP member come out to debunk such assertion?

4. Swearing by the Bible, Qoran, Amadioha and stuffs are superstition and serves no purpose in the context and issue

So wat is the relationship between his (metuh) tribe and the fact that he stole money and how does this make him different from dasuki and tinubu who are not igbo. please PROF TELL US i dont know wats worse, the fact that someone would spew such tribalist rubbish online, or the fact that people who think like him would go ahead and like his post. Guess it shows just how damaged our society really is.

See how you ignorantly and hastily concluded that all the allegations against Chief Metuh being bandied in the newspapers are all true.You should be more circumspect and objective and stop playing to the gallery.If the DSS has a case against the man, then charge him to court.
