#DASUKIGATE: I RECEIVED #400MILLION FROM JONATHAN- OLISA METUH

In a statement by  Olisa Metuh, Special Assistant Mr. Richard Ihediwa on Tuesday, said the news that Metuh had refused to answer questions put to him by the EFCC was not true. He said the disclosure about #400 million was not a product of investigation, but Metuh’s voluntary statement.

The statement said  the  detained National Publicity Secretary for PDP  has been cooperating with the commission by providing information to anti-graft agency, explaining his role in the alleged money involved in arms purchase scam. He said #400 million was given to him by ex-President Jonathan for an unknown project he performed to his satisfaction. The statement said the project would only be disclosed in court.
Ihediwa said, “This office wishes to state categorically that Chief Metuh has fully cooperated with investigators within his constitutionally guaranteed rights.

“In exercise of his rights, he has since given his statement to the EFCC wherein he submitted that he received the sum of N400m from the former President for an assignment, which he executed to the satisfaction of the former President.

"In further exercise of his rights, Metuh has also indicated his readiness to make public the nature of this assignment, but only in an open court in line with the laws of the land, and where his statement would not be distorted by anybody.

"Metuh, therefore, believes that his continued incarceration and failure to charge him to court are deliberately intended to prevent him from telling his own story in the open court for all Nigerians to know."
