The Spokesman of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP was sent back to prison today by an FCT High Court as
the Economic And Fianacial Crimes Commission, EFCC slammed a fresh two count
charge on the politician over an alleged attempt to destroy a
confessional statement.
The fresh charges came
less 48 hours after the Federal High Court in Abuja granted him bail on a seven
count charge of corruption.
The EFCC drove the embattled
politician into the premises of the FCT High Court on Thursday morning,
preparatory to slamming fresh charges on him.
Like on Tuesday, Mr. Metuh was in
handcuffs when he was brought into the court.
The handcuffs were later removed as
he waited to be taken before a judge.
He was later brought before Justice
Ishaq Bello, and accused of attempting to destroy information provided during
his cross examination at the office of the EFCC.
Count one of the charge contains
allegation of destruction of a statement he had given at the commission, to
prevent it from being produced, while count two of the charge revolves around
allegations of mischief, all punishable under section 327 of the Penal Code
Act.
