Olisa Metuh, the national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has filed a suit before a Federal High Court in Lagos, seeking his immediate release from custody.
Olisa Metuh is seeking his immediate release from custody.
On January 5,  for allegedly benefiting from the $2.1bn arms funds allegedly diverted by Sambo Dasuki, a former national security adviser.
The Punch reports that on Monday, January 11, the PDP’s spokesman filed a suit through his lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, against the EFCC and Attorney-General of the Federation.
Metuh claimed in the suit that his arrest was part of a sinister plan of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to silence the opposition and make Nigeria a one-party country.
The PDP’s spokesman sought a declaration that his detention by the anti-graft agency without access to his family and lawyer, and without being charged to court, was a violation of his fundamental rights.
Adegboruwa, who deposed to an affidavit of urgency in support of Metuh’s suit, claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari had launched “a massive attack upon the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, in the guise of fighting a nebulous anti-corruption war.”
