Court Rejects Metuh Request To Order DSS DG’s Arrest

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Tuesday rejected a request by the former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh, to order the arrest of the Director-General of the Department of State Service, Mr. Lawal Daura, for failing to produce the detained former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, in court.

At the resumption of trial today, the defence had asked that the DSS boss be arrested for failing to respect the court by producing Dasuki.

Justice Okon Abang, had on October 25 directed Dasuki and former President Goodluck Jonathan to appear in court on Tuesday in respect of the trial of Metuh.

Although Dasuki failed to appear, Jonathan’s lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), appeared in court to challenge the subpoena issued on the former President.
