In a new twist, the doctor's
medical report which was tendered as an exhibit in an Abuja Court, a letter
allegedly from the reputable Wellington Hospital in London on behalf of the
former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) spokesperson, Mr Olisa Metuh has been
disowned by the hospital.
Dr Adrian T. H. Casey had claimed
that he is a Neurosurgeon working with Wellington Hospital in London. He therefore
tendered a letter from Wellington Hospital to affirm that the former PDP
spokesperson, Metuh needed to be treated urgently in the United Kingdom.
An investigation by the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in the United Kingdom revealed that the said Dr.
Casey is not an employee of the hospital as claimed in the court proceedings.
In an email correspondence
between the UK party anti-corruption unit and the Chief Executive Officer of
Wellington Hospital, the hospital clearly disowned Dr Casey and went further to
say that the hospital never employed consultants.
It is obvious that the hospital
is not aware of letter tendered in Abuja court in its name and this suggests
that Dr Casey appears to be just a private consultant to Mr Metuh and not employed
by Wellington Hospital.
Mr Metuh who is facing corruption
charges had arrived Abuja division of the Federal High Court, in a wheelchair
for the continuation of his trial before the court.
The country’s corruption
watchdog, the Economic and Financial Crime Commission had alleged that Mr Metuh
had before the 2015 Presidential election, received N400million from the Office
of the National Security Adviser, ONSA, without executing any contract.
According to reports,
at the resumed proceeding on Wednesday, Metuh through his lawyer, Mr Emeka
Etiaba, SAN, applied to be allowed to travel to the United Kingdom for medical
treatment.
Metuh’s lawyer told the court
that his client’s health had deteriorated in the past two months.
He posited the worsening
situation of his health would require urgent medical attention from his doctors
in London, UK.
