The Federal High Court in Abuja, has adjourned sitting in the case involving the embattled Peoples Democratic Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh till Tuesday, January 19.
Metuh had been under the detention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over his alleged receipt of money from funds meant for the procurement of arms which was allegedly diverted by the ex-NSA, Sambo Dasuki.
During the court sitting, Metuh presented two pleas, one of which bordered on whether the Magistrate Court that sanctioned his continued detention has jurisdiction on such matters.
The other prayer is on whether the EFCC was right to have continued to keep him in detention.
While the presiding judge gave the EFCC a five-day ultimatum to respond to the plea about Metuh’s detention, he however refused to rule on the jurisdiction of the magistrate court to order the detention.
