EFCC Arrests Olisa Metuh PDP Spokesman

Mr Olisa Metuh

A statement issued by the Special Assistant to Mr Metuh stated that he was arrested at his home in No 14, Drive 1, Prince and Princess Estate, near the Abuja Games Village by four officials of the EFCC on Tuesday morning at about 10:00AM and was taken away in an unmarked white Hiace bus.

The statement added that the officials told the opposition party spokesman that he was being invited on a friendly note to answer questions at the anti-graft agency’s headquarters in Abuja.

A PDP official told Channels Television that efforts by Mr Metuh’s aides and lawyers to reach him has proved abortive since he was taken into custody.

Details regarding his arrest remained unclear as the EFCC was yet to disclose the reasons the opposition party spokesman was being invited.

Mr Metuh, had several days ago, released statements on alleged threat on him because of what he said were his efforts at criticising the ruling party and the actions of the government.
