ABUJA- OFFICIALS of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC
have quizzed the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh.
The operatives, four in number, came in a white unmarked Toyota Hiace
bus and picked Metuh from his Prince and Princess residence, Abuja.
A statement by his Special Assistant, Richard Ihediwa, reads:
“Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
arrived the Abuja home of the spokesman of the opposition,Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh this morning, inviting him to
follow them
to the commission’s headquarters.
“Upon enquiry on the reasons for the invitation, the officials stated
that he has some issues to clear with the commission. They also said he
was not being arrested but friendly invited. The operatives, four in
number, came in a White unmarked Toyota Hiace bus.
“As at the time of issuing this statement, Chief Metuh is still being
kept at the commission’s headquarters and his lawyers were making
frantic efforts to reach him.
“While details of why Chief Metuh was invited is yet to be made pubic
by the commission, it could be recalled that severally, Chief Metuh, as
the mouthpiece of the opposition party had alerted in various press
conferences and statements that he has been under threat and that the
ruling party and the government have been very uncomfortable with his stance.
“The latest being the outburst and threats by the National Chairman
of the APC, Chief John Oyegun in reaction to Chief Metuh’s criticisms of
President Buhari’s widely criticized response on government’s
disobedience of court orders, during the last Wednesday’s Presidential
Media chat.
“The Office of the National Publicity Secretary will keep the public updated on any development on the issue
