Court rejects Metuh’s application to invite Dasuki to testify in his case

by Liz Ajala 23 Feb , 2017  

The federal high court Abuja has refused Olisa Metuh’s application to compel Sambo Dasuki, a former National Security Adviser (NSA), to testify in his matter.

The court also declined Metuh’s request to allow him travel to the United Kingdom (UK) for treatment within the period of eight weeks.

Metuh is accused of receiving N400 million from Dasuki.

The said funds were meant to be used in tackling the Boko Haram insurgency in the north-east.

Okon Abang, the judge, said his application lacked merit and that Dasuki was not a “compellable witness”.
