An
application filed by former President Goodluck Jonathan before the Federal High
Court in Abuja has revealed further reasons why he wants to be excused from
appearing as a witness in defence of a former National Publicity Secretary of
the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh.
Metuh
is standing trial on charges involving, among others, the N400m he (Metuh)
received from the Office of the National Security Adviser in 2014.
The
former President in his motion challenging the subpoena issued on him, stated
that with “with several attempts by some persons in the current dispensation,
to harass, intimidate and rubbish” his reputation and that of his wife, the
witness summon issued on him upon Metuh’s request was a ploy to drag his name
in the mud.
