A former National Publicity
Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Olisa Metuh, on Monday appeared
in Abuja court on a stretcher. The politician was stretchered into the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday, following the threat by Justice Okon Abang to revoke his bail if he fails to appear in court Monday.
Metuh who was wheeled into the
courtroom presided by Justice Okon Abang elicited a lot of sympathy from
lawyers and the judge who adjourned his rial till March 15.
The judge aligned himself with
the position of Mr Onyeachi Ikpeazu (SAN), counsel to Metuh, that his client is
indisposed.
Metuh, who is facing corruption
charge, could not appear for his trial at an Abuja High Court on January 22 on
health grounds.
Justice Okon Abang on January 22
asked Metuh, to be present at his trial on Feb. 5 or face jail.
Metuh was admitted at the Intensive
Care Unit (ICU) of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH),
Nnewi.
The money is part of the funds
linked with former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd).
