How Reno Omokri’s Post On Metuh, Nyako Sparked Outrage On Facebook

By Bismarch Adeyemo

Nigerians have descended heavily on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) as well as Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court Abuja for what some of them termed as double standard in the handling of the on-going trials of former Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa state and former National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh.

Nigerians took to the facebook to slam the EFCC and Justice Abang for granting Nyako leave to travel abroad for medical treatment, when they earlier refused similar application by Metuh.

The facebook outrage was sparked by Reno Omokri, Special Adviser to former President Goodluck Jonathan on new media, who claimed that Metuh was refused leave to travel for a delicate spinal chord surgery, despite valid medical report only because he is of the PDP and the disparaged 5% of Nigerians, while Nyako was freely granted leave because he is of the APC and the favored 97%.

Omokri’s post reads: “Murtala Nyako, an APC member belonging to President Muhammadu Buhari's 97% voting bloc was accused of stealing ₦29 billion. He applied to travel abroad for medical treatment before Justice Abang and the EFCC DID NOT oppose his application and it was granted. Olisa Metuh a PDP member belonging to President Muhammadu Buhari's 5% voting bloc is accused of having received NSA funds of ₦400 million and using it for campaigning for the PDP (note that he was not accused of stealing). He applied to travel abroad for a spinal injury to the same Justice Abang and the EFCC opposed his application and it was denied despite tendering reports from multiple neurosurgeons. Think about that before you come here to tell me that this current EFCC is not an arm of the APC.”

Omokri’s post sparked off comments from Nigerians who lambasted the court and the EFCC for what they described as double standard in the handling of the two cases.

Commenting, Tee Mac Iseli lamented that issues are now treated in Nigeria on the basis of ethnicity, political affiliations and religion. “Well in our country there are people who are more than equal. It depends from what area you come from, what religion you practise and most of all which political party you belong too…‬”.

Lamenting on the matter, another facebok user, Gamkat Dashe accused the EFCC and the court of unfairness. According to her. “I wonder why Justice Abang is so biased against Olisa Metuh. Some of the reasons he gave for granting Nyako leave to travel was that Nyako had always behaved himself in court, had not been absent from court, had never done anything to attempt to delay proceedings or show that he will not return. The questions are; has Olisa Metuh at anytime behaved unruly in court? Has he been absent from court except for the days he was admitted at the National Hospital? Has the judge concluded that Metuh is a criminal who will not return to the country if he goes abroad? Justice Abang has completely shown that he is a partisan judge and I pity all PDP members appearing before him”.

Also commenting Ikechukwu Onyia said the development only goes to buttress that the APC-led is punishing Metuh for the role he played as the spokesperson of the opposition PDP, adding that such double standards in the dispensation of justice is at the root of unrests and agitations in various parts of the country.

Commenting, Kamen Chucks and Musa Mikaya backed Omokri while describing the development as “not just mere injustice against Chief Metuh but also a malicious act of wickedness and clear exhibition of man's inhumanity to fellow man”. Musa Mikaya described it as “glaring injustice and inhumanity of man to man”

In his own comment, a facebook user Peter Oto related the development to the debate of inequality in the novel, Animal Farms, “I thought the rule of law applies to every body...let me go look for my novel Animal Farms, “what did Napoleon sayyyyyy!!! Yesssss!!! ''All animals are equal but some animals are ...."

Also commenting, Femowei Braye Friday said “One of my professor friend from Uganda Mamhood Mamdani calls it the "Bifurcation of the state " where a set certain sets rules and laws are meant for some of people, while another is meant for another set of people. However, I urge they remember that politics is a two edged game which is transient.” ‬

While some users insist that there is no way Metuh can get justice before Justice Abang, others lamented that the ill treatment of certain Nigerians on the basis of their tribe and political affiliation is the root of the growing unrest agitation in various parts of the country.

It would be recalled that Metuh was very vocal in his role as then spokesman of the PDP. There is a growing concern regarding the administration of justice on the Metuh as well as other members of the opposition PDP

Wetin come be Efcc own? You should cry to the court na, Sebi una know how to bribe them.......

I thought they said no APC member is facing trial. Let Metuh keep chewing his statements and fighting EFCC and Prison officials

why is it that Nigerian politians suddenly become sick when arrested for corrupt practices?

It is ridiculous to think even for a moment this government is "fighting corruption" with sincerity

How come METUH never die since they restricted him from traveling for medicals?



This is a clear sign that he was planning to evade justice



PDP no matter how hard una try, Nigerians are wiser now

All thanks to Buhari:

Sad reality, no fair justice in this forsaken country

So is the idea to kill Metuh before the end of the case? This is a man that the court is aware has been living with serious pain killers to be able to move around. What is wrong in allowing him to get medical treatment and coming back to face his trial. The issue of jumping bail does not arise. His passport will just be deposited at the UK embassy and he cannot go to any other place but the hospital and back to Nigeria. That is Justice unless the court has already pronounced him guilty before trial.

Some of the reasons he gave for granting Nyako leave to travel was that Nyako had always behaved himself in court, had not been absent from court, had never done anything to attempt to delay proceedings or show that he will not return. The questions are; has Olisa Metuh at anytime behaved unruly in court? Has he been absent from court except for the days he was admitted at the National Hospital?

How come Buhari never die since he went to hospital for treatment? My friend, let us leave all these sentiments and face facts. Injury to one, should be injury to all. Today you are supporting miscarriage of justice, I hope that you will not find yourself being victimized one day too.

Bokustical, if both Metuh and Nyako are thieves as you said, why are they not being given the same treatment. That's the point Reno is making period. Justice should be done to all.

In which hospital is Metuh since he was denied access to travel?

[quote author=greatiyk4u post=59365551]

Greatiyk4u, everybody in this country knows that Metuh has been at the National Hospital and that it was the National Hospital that referred him to surgery abroad.

Same APC controlled judiciary

1) Ruled against Sherrif (the so called APC mole)

2) Ruled in favour of Nyesom Wike against an Dakuku Peterside

3) Favoured an Eyitayo Jegede over Jimoh Ibrahim (another termed APC mole)

4) Affirmed the validity of Governors Emmanuel Udom, Okowa's victory in the polls

5) Same judiciary ruled against the EFCC in the cases of the indicted Justices

6) Ruled in favour of Nnamdi Kanu's bail

Reno is only angry against the recent court rulings against a certain Diezani not Nyako. As a pastor, I thought Reno would have writtenepistles to condemn Diezani for once buy hell no.

Whether Metuh or Nyako, they are all thieves and there should be no sympathy for them

If only most of the brain dead. commenters had an ounce of this intelligence to see through omo creek lies

Were you there when he chewed it, you believed all the lies from Apc. You sure need brain detoxification

Nyako has a wife who works in the Judiciary.
So hold the Judiciary responsible

Mehut has already enjoy his own privilege during Jonathan's era let Nyako also enjoy during change era

The likes of Reno and FFK have mastered the art of pushing the mumu buttons of Pigs and Idiots hence these comments. These guys are driven by nothing but raw emotions and when misleading comments such as these are made, their responses are pretty much expected.

I've learnt to look past their foolishness.

Becos of this biased treatment, the Biafra & Niger Delta are leaving the Zoo.

The North brought this break of Nigeria with their Northernization


Not forgetting their Islamic policies.


Jesus has risen to His rest to deliver use from the planned Jihad.

These are people who God used to defy APC.
remember afterwards Buhari went on a purge of southerners from the Judiciary

This post abt what Reno said is not worth my comment.

You made valid points...to me its not about Buhari and fight against corruption, but Justice Okon Abang shamelessly making his inclination towards APC open..how can you grant a man who stole N29b leave to travel out while denying the same request from another ( criminal) who stole N400m.
