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

Nonsense write-up

Diokpa ko, okpa-eyin ni.

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

I heard Y.E.A.N is recruiting..





















Please don't ask me if I meant "Yam Eaters Association of Nigeria..

It is expected. Dasuki's wife also asked for his release as well.
But I bet you he has found his new home. Abeg nairalanders what is happening this days. Its like I'm not hearing Fayoshe and Fani Kayode anymore at all. Are they just realising from Metuh case that no amount of pre emptive shout can stop their case if found culprit of anything

I laughed so te water commot from my eyes. If he collect money him go tell you or even if he confide in one of you, can all of you contribute the money for him. EFCC is just back from court go for redress. A beg don't disturb the media

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.

Buhari must follow court process or face ICC.

Kk send him address

Nonsense!

All this will backfire

Metuh is gone!

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

Dasuki's family and even pdp been release press statement too. I'm not surprised.

Besides, when he was busy carrying out GEJ's task satisfactorily, sharing the cash meant for soldiers, his family didn't release any press statement

BeeBeeOoh:

Please, what is YEAN

To you, not to me and the most of Nigeria. Or, are you not feeling it in the air? If you are not, ask around.

Before he die of hunger or other natural causes let him return our yam, as for his death he already die the moment jonathan make the call to pmb

I love Buhari.

A part of him we thought was lost in the military uniform has resurfaced.

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 don't know why some think that their opinions matter in the new scheme of things in Nigeria. There is a new sheriff so get used to it. Meanwhile EFCC has just gotten a court order demanding for his detention so he's not coming back very soon. You can save money for his Obi.....

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.

Some tribe and their people are really shameless sha!!!
