Olisa Metuh and Anenih set to be invited for questioning over Dasukigate

Peoples Democratic Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh and a former Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the PDP, Chief Tony Anenih, may soon be invited for questioning over the investigation into the diversion of arms fund.

The office of the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki is alleged to have pumped into the PDP, billions naira earmarked for the purchase of arms for the Nigerian military.

Metuh and Anenih lead the several PDP chieftains who are expected to be called in for questioning over the funds they received from the ONSA.

The Nation reports that a top official of the EFCC confirmed that Metuh is being investigated for receiving N400 million.

A source was quoted to have said: “I think we are inviting Anenih and a few bigwigs implicated in the arms deals by some of the accused persons.

“Some of them will need to explain how they came about the cash given to them and how to effect refund.”

A former Minister of State for Finance, Amb. Bashir Yuguda, who is also under investigation, had confessed to sharing part of the funds obtained from the ONSA, to PDP chieftains.

He made the revelation under oath in a Statement of Witness/ Caution, which he wrote for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
