Olisa Metuh, a former spokesman
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says his bank accounts have been frozen
by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He is facing a seven-count of
criminal breach of trust and money laundering to the tune of N400 million.
At the Abuja federal high court
on Tuesday, Metuh said he could no longer feed his family because of the
restriction placed on his account by the anti-graft agency.
He said he does not know how he
would cater for his family and also lacked means to buy Panadol.
“They seized all my accounts in
every bank in this country. As I am don’t have money to buy Panadol or water to
drink,” he said.
“They have alleged in this case
that N400m was stolen. Why would they not limit it to that amount? I don’t know
how I am going to feed my family? I don’t have access to any money at all.
“I am ready to end this case and
submit myself to the judgment of this court. I am in total shock as I am here
talking to you.”
Okon Abang, the judge, asked
Onyechi Ikpeazu, Metuh’s counsel, to discuss the issue with Sylvanus Tahir,
prosecution lawyer.
