ARMSGATE: METUH LOSES BID TO STOP TRIAL



-  
     - Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, yesterday, dismissed Olisa Metuh’s ‘no case’ submission over his alleged diversion of N400 million meant for the procurement of arms for “lacking in merit".

-          - Metuh and his company, Dastra Investment Limited are facing a seven-count charge of receiving N400 million from the former NSA, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd).
-          - Metuh in a ‘no case’ submission prayed the court to dismiss the charges against him on the grounds that the persecution council has established no prima facie case against him.
-          - However, the judge ruled that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has made a prima facie case of money laundering against him and that it is left for him now to defend himself.
