A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Tuesday granted bail to the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Olisa Metuh, in the sum of N400m with two sureties in the sum of N200m each.
Justice Okon Abang, in a ruling shortly after Metuh’s bail application was argued on Tuesday, also ordered that the two sureties must own property in Maitama, Abuja.
According to PUNCH, the judge also ruled that the sureties must produce the certificates of occupancy of the property which must be verified by the Chief Registrar of the court and confirmed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The judge, who also ordered that Metuh must deposit his traveling documents with the court pending the period of his trial, also ordered the EFCC to verify the residences of the sureties who must be resident in Abuja.
Justice Abang had on January 15 ordered the PDP spokesperson to be remanded in Kuje prison shortly after his arraignment on seven counts of money laundering preferred against him by the EFCC.
