Metuh and the second defendant had been on trial for four years on money laundering charges involving  400 million naira which he allegedly received from the Office of the National Security Adviser in 2015.

Abel Ozioko appeared for Metuh while  Tochukwu Onwugbufor (SAN) stood in for Destra Investments, both of who had pleaded not guilty to the charges.

But EFCC’s counsel, Sylvanus Tahir urged the court to declare the defendants guilty.

The Judge, Okon Abang adjourned the case to February 25, 2020.
