The Economic and Financial Crimes commission (EFCC) on Tuesday said
it could effectively prosecute the trial of Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) spokesman, Olisa Metuh, without involving former President
Goodluck Jonathan in the case.
EFCC’s position followed Metuh’s argument that since Jonathan was
allegedly involved in the process leading to the payment of funds for
his presidential campaign, the ex-president is a necessary witness in
the case.
Metuh and his company, Destra Investment Limited, are being tried
before the Federal High court, Abuja, for allegedly receiving N400m from
the office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) for security
services, which he allegedly diverted to fund his party’s activities.
They are also accused of flouting the money laundering Act by making $2m suspicious investment.
At the conclusion of the prosecution’s witness last week, Metuh filed a no-case submission in court.
