EFCC, again like Festus Keyamo did
all through, are going to lose the case against Metuh. (you have not proved
that the money given to Metuh's company is illegal. You have not convicted
anyone for the source of the money and yet you want to convict Metuh?
It is like you have not proven a car was
stolen and you are accusing a man of buying stolen car. So EFCC rests their
case on "strongly linked". IDIOCY.) Metuh in Court (Snippets from
proceedings today February 9, 2016) EFCC witness fails to give evidence that
Metuh ate own statement …Document read in court showed Metuh’s transaction
passed through due process…..
…..No document linking $2m given to
Ararume with Dasuki's fund. EFCC witness Detective Junaid Saeed entered the
witness box at 9:03. Witness averred that he is with special Taskforce team
According to him; After oral interviews, Metuh was asked if he was willing to
make statement and a sheet of paper was given to him with cautionary word.
When he concluded writing the
statement, which was in four sheets he handed it over to me and I read what he
wrote and I gave it to other team members after I returned to him for
endorsement.
He endorsed the first and second
sheet and when he was to endorse the third sheet…..He suddenly tore the sheet,
the pieces recovered and registered with the commission. I immediately made
entry of the incident into report sheet and EFCC duty record.
Because of this I declined giving
him the fourth sheet to endorse because I did not want him to tear it. He
requested to volunteer another statement, which he did after I gave him a sheet
with cautionary words and he volunteered another statement. Interview and
investigation carried out confirmed that CNC were used to carry out media
campaign activities of PDP on the instruction of the first defendant, ditto
Abba Dabo. See shocking Snippets from Cross-Examination of EFCC
