In what will be seen as bad news to some people, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says Olisa Metuh still has a case at the Supreme Court.
The anti-graft agency disclosed this in a statement while reacting to a news report that a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja had struck out a suit of money laundering filed against Metuh.
The EFCC, in the statement, insisted that the case it has against the former spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not at the Federal High Court.
Metuh regains his freedom from Kuje Prison
Metuh was finally released from the Kuje prison in adherence to an order from the Court of Appeal in Abuja.
The former spokesperson for the PDP was earlier sentenced to seven years in jail by Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja on February 25, 2020, after being found guilty on charges of money laundering.
Metuh was incarcerated at the Kuje correctional centre in Abuja, but a judgement by the Court of Appeal on Wednesday, December 16, nullified the jail sentence handed to the former PDP spokesperson.
