Alleged Corruption: Court Adjourns Metuh, Badeh’s Trial Again

Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja has once again adjourned the trial of the spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh. The case will continue on Thursday, the Judge ruled on Wednesday. Mr. Metuh is facing a seven-count charge of alleged money laundering to the tune of N400 million. He was expected to open his defence Wednesday. Mr. Abang had adjourned the opening of Mr. Metuh’s Defence last Thursday, following an application by the PDP spokesperson for the case to be transferred to another judge. The application, filed by Mr. Metuh’s lawyer, Emeka Etiaba, listed 16 reasons Mr. Abang should not be allowed to hear the case. Also on Wednesday, Justice Abang also adjourned the trial of former Chief of Air staff, Alex Badeh to Thursday. Thanks for reading.
