Two witnesses brought
before a Federal High Court in Abuja by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission have told the court how the spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic
Party, Olisa Metuh, and his company, Dextra Investments Limited, transferred
the sum of $2million allegedly collected from the office of the National
Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
The first prosecution
witness, Nneka Ararume, a wealth manager dealing in management of equities,
fixed income instruments and real estate, said she collected the sum of
$2million dollars from Mr. Metuh sometime in December 2014.
She said she changed
the dollars into Nigerian currency and had it transferred to Mr. Metuh’s
account.
The second witness, a
bureau de change operator, said he had the sum of $1 million dollars exchanged
to N183 million and transferred to the account of Dextra Investments Limited.
He however said he had
no knowledge of either Mr. Metuh or his company, Dextra investment Limited,
before that time.
Mr. Metuh is standing
trial for allegedly collecting N400 million from Mr Dasuki’s office.
