Chief Olisah Metuh

* EFCC is quizzing Metuh over N1.4b in his firm's account

Olisah Metuh has written a statement. According to a source, “He said ex-president Goodluck Jonathan called him and gave him an assignment.

That he carried out the assignment perfectly well & reported back to the former president who was satisfied with job done.

“If EFCC has any case they should charge him to court. He is ready to defend himself. That he disbursed all monies to those it was meant for but will not give details until he is charged to court. That Jonathan directed he should give an account for the job to be funded and he gave his company account.

“Asked for a copy of the report, Metuh claimed that its for his personal records and he will not give EFCC but will present it in court. That he was transferred N400m for the job and he disbursed it to the last kobo. That he submitted a report to Jonathan and he has a copy.

“They asked Metuh to make additional statement, he declined and said they should use force if they want him to. Metuh is set for Court. It’s now over to EFCC for next move.

“He has refused to drink water or eat food. They asked him, he said: “Do you people want to poison me?”

The statement concluded.
