The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) will, on May 30, re-arraign former National Publicity Secretary of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, on allegations bordering on N400 million fraud.
Metuh is expected to be re-arraigned before Justice Emeka Nwite of a Federal High Court (FHC), Abuja.
It was gathered on Monday from Court 8, where Justice Nwite presides, that hearing notices had already been issued, though it could not confirm if counsel to the parties had been communicated.
It was reported on Feb. 15 that the retrial of the Metuh had been reassigned to Nwite, the new judge in the Abuja division.
Prior to the reassignment, the matter was before a sister judge, Obiora Egwuatu.
The matter was assigned to Justice Egwuatu last year following his transfer to Abuja division of the court.
Egwatu had fixed Oct. 14, 2021, for Metuh’s re-arraignment after the Court of Appeal’s decision which nullified the trial court’s judgment
