COURT TO DECIDE METUH'S FATE BY 9TH OF MARCH.....

 


A Federal High Court will on March 9, 2016 decide the fate of the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Olisa Metuh.

Justice Obong Abang said that he would either deliver judgment to dismiss the charges against Mr Metuh and acquit him if he finds that he has no case at all.

He said however, that he would in the alternative, deliver a ruling ordering Mr Metuh to open his defence, if he finds out that he has a case to answer.
Justice Obong arrived at his decision after Mr Metuh filed documents and adopted same as his submission to prove that the EFCC has not made out any case against him.
Counsel to Mr Metuh, who at the last adjourned date, had gotten leave of the court to file his motion in writing, adopted same as his argument in urging the court to dismiss the charges against his client .
The prosecutor in his part also filed document countering the claims made by Metuh through his counsel Mr
SYLVANUS TAHIR, which explained that the evidence made out by the prosecution against Mr Metuh showed that he has a case to answer and that the court should compel him to do so.
