PDP spokesman, Olisah Metuh
Detectives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission have hit a brickwall in their attempt to recover the N400 million traced to a company in which Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) spokesman Olisa Metuh has a stake.
Olisa is said to have told the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that he would rather go on hunger strike than refund the money, which is believed to be part of the $2.1 billion arms cash allegedly diverted at the Office National Security Adviser (ONSA).
EFCC chairman, Ibrahim Magu, who revealed Metuh’s position on Monday, January 11, in Lagos, stressed that the war against corruption had just begun.
Speaking during a meeting with online reporters, Magu vowed to bring corrupt elements to justice, explaining that the looting of the nation’s treasury “is mind boggling”.
He added that former Military Administrator of Kaduna State Brig.-Gen.Jafaru Isa had refunded N100 million of the N170million he collected from the ONSA.
