Metuh reportedly tears statement he made to EFCC
According to a report by
Premium Times ,
embattled spokesperson of PDP today tore a statement he voluntarily
made to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission regarding his
alleged involvement in the $2.1billion arms fraud when he was arrested
on January 5th. The report states that the antigraft agency had
approached Metuh who has being in their custody, to sign the statement
when he tore it and tried to swallow the paper.
“Rather than sign the document, Metuh on realising the weight of his
confession, seized the documents and proceeded to tear them,” a source
at EFCC said
According to another source at EFCC, his attempt to tear the very
sensitive document was an offence
“The tearing of statement is tantamount to willful destruction of
government property and it is a serious offence. Also the fact that he
obstructed operatives from performing their job is also a criminal
offence. We will explore the possibility of filling a separate charge
against him at the Federal Capital Territory High Court.”.
