At a Federal High Court in Abuja today, two witnesses brought by
the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), told the court how
the embattled spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa
Metuh, and his company, Dextra Investments Limited, transferred the sum
of $2million collected from the office of the National Security Adviser
(NSA), Sambo Dasuki.
Nneka Ararume, the first prosecution witness who is a wealth
manager dealing in management of equities, fixed income instruments and
real estate, said she collected the sum of $2 million dollars from Olisa
Metuh sometime in December 2014.
She added that she changed the dollars into Nigerian currency and had it transferred to Metuh’s account.
"He gave me the sum of $2m in $100 bills. It was taken to bureau de
change operators who would then transfer the money to ARM. From there
(Metuh’s house) I proceeded to Mr. Sie Iyenome’s office at Wuse 2 where I
gave him the sum of $1m.
I also invited Mr. Kabir Mohammed and I also gave him the sum
of $1m to transfer the naira equivalent in favour of Destra Investment
Limited. Later on the same day, December 2, 2014, Mr. Kabir and Mr. Sie
Iyenome confirmed the receipt," she said.
A bureau de change operator who is the second witness, said he had
the sum of $1 million dollars exchanged to N183 million and transferred
to the account of Dextra Investments Limited. He disclosed that he had
no knowledge of either Metuh or his company, Dextra investment Limited,
before that time.
Both witnesses were cross-examined by the defence counsel as the
trial was later adjourned till tomorrow for the prosecution to call more
witnesses.
The prosecuting counsel said he had 16 more witnesses.
