The former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party , Mr. Olisa Metuh, has told the Federal High Court in Abuja that the N400 million project fund for which he is standing trial was paid to him by former President Goodluck Jonathan and not the former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki, as alleged by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission .
Giving evidence on behalf of his company, Dextra Investment Ltd, which is the second defendant in the suit and the account where the N400m was paid into, the ex-spokesperson for the PDP told Justice Okon Abang that he could not consider the money for the act of any unlawful purpose because it came from Jonathan.
He stressed that the money could not have been for an unlawful purpose because he was helping and contributing to stabilizing the then government because President Jonathan was elected on the PDP platform. “As I am talking on oath before this court now, I can say categorically that Dasuki has not been interrogated, charged or convicted for any act relating to me and my company.
