The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has adjourned the ongoing trial of former Peoples Democratic Party spokesman, Olisa Metuh, over a letter presented by his counsel to inform the court that he is bereaved.
Metuh is facing trial trial alongside his company, Destra Investment Limited, on a seven-count charge which involves laundering $2million. He is also charged with fraudulently receiving N400 million from the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki. Rulling on the matter, the trial judge, Justice Okon Abang said that he was inclined to grant the application for an adjournment for the reasons stated by counsel.
