Document read in court showed Metuh’s transaction passed through due process…..

…..No document linking $2m given to Ararume with Dasuki’s fund.

 

EFCC witness Detective Junaid Saeed entered the witness box at 9:03. Witness averred that he is with special Taskforce team
According to him;

After oral interviews, Metuh was asked if he was willing to make statement and a sheet of paper was given to him with cautionary word. When he concluded writing the statement, which was in four sheets he handed it over to me and I read what he wrote and I gave it to other team members after I returned to him for endorsement.
He endorsed the first and second sheet and when he was to endorse the third sheet…..He suddenly tore the sheet, the pieces recovered and registered with the commission. I immediately made entry of the incident into report sheet and EFCC duty record.
Because of this I declined giving him the fourth sheet to endorse because I did not want him to tear it. He requested to volunteer another statement, which he did after I gave him a sheet with cautionary words and he volunteered another statement.
Interview and investigation carried out confirmed that CNC were used to carry out media campaign activities of PDP on the instruction of the first defendant, ditto Abba Dabo.

Okay then!

Bubu had wished this was military era. Too bad for him.



Nobody is guilty until proven.

At the end Buhari will say the court is not helping in fighting corruption. The bruden of proof is on the prosecution and the they must prove beyond every reasonable doubt.

It's still too early to conclude.

This looks like a normal cross examination to me. You don't expect the defendant's lawyer to highlight areas where he is likely to be disadvantaged, do you?

Well, let the lawyers come and tell us what they have observed.

Thank God the law is not emotional but fact based. Let us now hear the defense. Looking like efcc is making a bad and emotional case.

drama

You will never see this on frontpage......

But if the amebo and owambe bloggers report that Metuh ate his own stool so as to conceal some evidence in his stool, the story go enter speed train to FP

Meanwhile whoever believes the honorable Metuh ate some pieces of papers should have his head examined.

This case is nothing but propaganda! I will dissect it soon. Buhari is just trying to divert attention from his total incompetence

The president is a big fraud

This is why lawyers are paid to do their jobs.

If these facts are truly before the court, I'm afraid the prosecution case is porous. I see lack of proper and diligent investigation.

In any event, I wish all parties success

Thank goodness tonyebarcanista is not the Judge.

Due process in prosecuting allegations deepens Democracy.

A situation where media trial and lynching are used to convict suspects destroys democracy and breeds distrust.

The mods are just marginalising the opposition... if it's against Metuh you will see it on fp asap

pls, I dey see no my lord for some places, na the judge dey conduct the cross examination or wetin una mean.

This will be interesting, if this piece of news is anything to go by then the EFCC case against metuh is porous and can be tagged as witch hunting...


This what you get when you have people who are more interested in media prosecution, than carrying out thorough investigation to nail alleged corrupt ion...


One thing I noticed though about this whole corruption fight by this administration is that they play more of the "guilty card" in the media than in the court of law, and to make matters worse some set of gullible nigerians believe the media charade without looking at the issue/facts critically....

Corruption should be fought, with facts and thorough investigation with water tight proofs and not using the media to pass a guilty verdict on the accused...SMH

hmmmm!


somebody should wake me.
