Olisa Metuh appears in court on stretchers, driven off in an ambulance
The former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Olisa Metuh, was on Monday produced on a stretcher before the Federal High Court in Abuja for his ongoing trial in respect of the N400m he allegedly received from the Office of the National Security Adviser in 2014.
Mr Metuh is standing trial for alleged money laundering being part of the funds linked with former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd).
His lawyer Emeka Etiaba had informed the court in January that his client was on admission at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital for an undisclosed ailment.
The former PDP spokesman was, however, wheeled to the court on Monday following the threat by Justice Okon Abang to revoke his bail if he fails to appear in court today.
The trial judge, Justice Okon Abang, had to adjourn the matter due to the condition of the defendant.
He was driven off in the ambulance with number plate, 44Q 20FG, at about 10:27 am on Monday.
The case was adjourned until March 14.
