Olisa Metuh, a former
spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has begged the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), to unfreeze his accounts.
Metuh is facing a seven-count of criminal breach of trust and money laundering to the tune of N400 million.
At
the Abuja Federal High Court on Tuesday, Metuh claimed he could no
longer feed his family, because of the restriction placed on his account
by the anti-graft agency.
“They seized all my accounts in every bank in this country. As I am don’t have money to buy Panadol or water to drink.
“They
have alleged in this case that N400m was stolen. Why would they not
limit it to that amount? I don’t know how I am going to feed my family? I
don’t have access to any money at all.
“I am ready to end this
case and submit myself to the judgment of this court. I am in total
shock as I am here talking to you,” he said.
Okon Abang, the judge, asked Onyechi Ikpeazu, Metuh’s counsel, to discuss the issue with Sylvanus Tahir, prosecution lawyer.
