You don't understand.
How much did the Buharis and other military generals steal from Nigeria, and they walk free in Nigeria? If you want to fight corruption, you must be clean and be able to tackle every body accused of corruption in the immediate past.
Show us wat dey stole n we wud stone Dem together if u can prove it like metuh n oda thieves.

byteHead:
The National Publicity Secretary of the People‎s Democratic Court, Mr. Olisa Metuh, has applied to a Federal High Court in Abuja for the release of his passport to enable him to travel to the United Kingdom for medical treatment.

Justice Okon Abang had ordered Metuh to deposit his passport with the court’s registrar as part of the bail conditions granted him on January 19, 2016, with respect to his ongoing trial before the court.

Metuh, by his motion filed on May 16, seeks orders directing the court’s registrar to release his passport to him and to permit him to travel to the United Kingdom for five weeks to get treatment.

He stated in the application that his decision to seek treatment abroad was informed by the advice by a neurosurgeon in the National Hospital, Abuja following the injury he allegedly sustained after falling from a chair at the national secretariat on April 26.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is prosecuting Metuh and his company, Destra Investments Limit‎ed, on seven counts, including alleged fraudulent receipt of N400m from the Office of the National Security Adviser in November 2014 to fund Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential campaign ahead of the 2015 poll.

Other counts preferred against Metuh include alleged money laundering offences involving cash transaction of $2m without passing through a financial institution.

Justice Abang on Thursday reluctantly adjourned Metuh’s trial and the hearing of his fresh motion seeking the release of his passport till May 23, after his lawyer, Mr. Emeka Etiaba (SAN), complained that his client’s condition worsened overnight.

Etiaba told the judge that Metuh was rushed to hospital at about 1am on Thursday following a sudden change in his condition.

He said he read Metuh’s text message about the overnight development on Thursday morning but insisted that the defendant must attend the day’s proceedings.

He said he met Metuh at the court’s car park on Thursday and realised that the PDP’s spokesperson had vommitted in his car.

The lawyer said, “Waking up this morning, I read a text from the first defendant (Metuh) informing me that he was rushed to the National Hospital by 1am.

“My lord, I read that text this morning when I woke up and I responded that whatever it is he must be in court.

“I drove in this morning and he (Metuh) was at the car park in his car. On getting there I realised that he had vommited profusely and his brother-in-law Mr. Andy, narrated how he was rushed to the hospital last night.

“On getting to the hospital, they met a lady doctor who said the nurses were on strike but they administered injection and drugs to him.

“They also gave him a room but he was advised that since they had given him medical attention, that he should go home because the injection administered to him would make him to sleep.

“He was also informed that because of the strike, the only available room was not cleaned up. He was advised to come back to the hospital by 8am.. he was only here based on my advice.

“Our application this morning is for an adjournment.
But for the reason that the 1st defendant is very weak, there is need to report back to the hospital because he cannot stand trial.

“I therefore plead with my lord to indulge us because this is a life threatening-situation. The defendant needs to stay alive to face his trial. This is a passionate appeal.”

Destra Investment Limited’s lawyer, Tochukwu Onwugbufor (SAN), supported the application for adjournment.

Prosecuting counsel, Mr. Sylvanus Tahir, described Etiaba’s submission as an “oral affidavit” but that he would not oppose the application for adjournment since it had to do with the defendant’s health.

‎Justice Abang in a bench ruling also said the issues raised by Etiaba were merely “sentimental” as there was no evidence apart from the lawyer’s oral submission to back the ill health claim.

The judge said ‎the defendant ought to have invited the doctor who attended to Metuh in the hospital to give evidence on oath with respect to the defendant’s ill health.

But the judge said notwithstanding the failure of the defendant’s lawyer to adduce tenable evidence, he would adjourn the case because “the court is also human”.

He adjourned till May 23 but with a directive that the trial would proceed day to day in line with provisions of section 396(3) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015.

Let all of these politicians use Nigerian hospitals so that they can see for themselves how truly useless they are.

Are you surprised that you NEVER hear of them being sick of a serious ailment or going abroad for Medicals, ...UNTIL THEY ARE CAUGHT AND CHARGED TO COURT?


If the poor man's whose wealth was looted does not have the opportunity to go abroad for Medicals, then these Looters should not be afforded same opportunity.

If Government officials want Good Medical Treatment and facilities, let them stop looting money meant for Medical infrastructures. Period!

what's their to understand? do you think metuh will abandon his duty with PDP because he wants to escape judgement. he is not a coward.

Not advising PDP to build a world class hospital with the money they stole means he his more than a coward. We would not give a regular thief the same opportunity so he should just forget it. If he get the same opportunity all the thieves in jail too would get the same now.

You sound like you would grant this frivolous and ridiculous application if you were the judge.

Between, doesn't it bother you that everyone under investigation suddenly wants to travel overseas for medical treatment?

After they looted and stole all the money that was meant for security, they are looking for other countries where there is security, where leaders of those countries did not steal the money meant for security in their own country, to go and stay. After one of the old wicked men in Nigeria, all of whom will not go to the grave in peace with their gray hair unless they repent from their wickedness, had joined them to share the money that was meant for security, he then started to complain that criminals were disturbing him in his farm and that there is no security. And after looting and stealing all the money that was meant for health and medical services in Nigeria they are looking for other countries to run to for medical treatment, countries whose leaders did not steal and loot the money meant for health and medical services. Foolish and wicked generations
