A Federal High Court in Abuja yesterday ordered that the spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, be remanded in Kuje Prison, Abuja.He is to remain in prison until January 19 when his formal bail application would be considered.
Justice Okon Abang gave the order while ruling on an oral bail application made by Metuh through his lawyer, Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN).
The judge refused Metuh’s oral bail application on the ground that his application was opposed by the prosecution and that he failed to provide sufficient evidence as required under Section 162 (a) and (b) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015.
The ruling came shortly after Metuh and his company, Destra Investments Limited, were arraigned on a seven-count charge filed the previous day by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
