Justice Okon Abang, in his ruling, took his time to take the counts in the N400 million fraud case against the former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

According to Abang, the actions of Colonel Dasuki led to the criminal breach of trust and official corruption involving Metuh.

The judge stated that Metuh lacked any documentary evidence to show that former President Goodluck Jonathan authorised the release of N400 million purportedly for security reasons without a contractual agreement.
