Ex-PDP spokesman, Metuh, jailed seven years, to return N375m

arising from his activities preceding the 2015 presidential election which his party lost.

The judge also convicted Metuh and his firm for transacting with cash sum of $2m without going through a financial institution as alleged in counts 4 and 5. Shortly before passing the sentences on Tuesday, the judge said the facts presented in the case showed that Nigeria needed a rebirth. He sentenced Metuh to seven years imprisonment for counts 1, 2, 4 and 7; five years’ imprisonment in respect of count 3; and three years in respect of each of counts 5 and 6.The order implied that the ex-PDP spokesperson would only spend in prison the highest number of years of jail terms imposed by the court, which is seven years.

Justice Abang also ordered Destra Investment Limited to pay N25m to the Federal Government as a fine.

Only the Southern politicians are being jailed. The impostor Buhari is just all out for the Southerners. Sentimental corruption fight is to deceive the Cursed in the North.

metuh bag 7 years jail term thecableng Metuh sentenced to 39 years in prison. What is this nah

I'm not impressed. Charity they say begins at home.

Camouflage, soon he will seek medical treatment and boycott jail.

Democracy in danger once again in danger.

I dont want to be a lawyer on this.but let me acted as a nigeria thT i am.if he collect dis said money from an agency of govt for completion of contract the agency mont menitor the project.nw what is going to happen to the rest of ppl involved?

7yrs is not enough for heartless people like metuh

Only one person stole N375m🙆, these people are heartless.

Stop sending this people to jail. jail is just another home for them. u want to stop corruption? Just kill anybody caught and see if others don't change.

Justice Abang recounted after the judgment the bitterness he had in his heart for Metuh & his lawyers. This bitterness, no doubt, weighed heavily in his consideration of Metuh's case. No wonder he convicted him without much consideration for his evidence.

Corruption is a two ways road, there cannot be a taker if there’s no giver. It’s even common sensical. If Mr. Metuh is guilty of corruption then where are the others?

There's no justice here. Where are his accomplices? He wasn't acting alone
