Olisa Metuh sues FG over his prolonged detention

Posted: 11 Jan 2016 11:19 AM PST

Embattled National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Olisa Metuh, has dragged the Federal government before a Federal High Court in Abuja over his continued detention. Metuh is being detained for allegedly receiving N400 million from former National Security Adviser Sambo Dasuki.

In a suit filed by his counsel, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, Metuh claimed that his arrest by the antigraft agency was part of a plan by the ruling party APC, to silence the PDP.

Metuh said that since Buhari came into office in May 2015, he has organized the EFCC to serve as a tool to go after PDP members. He argued that his detention tramples on his fundamental human rights and also breached the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
"I verily believe that the applicant has not committed any offence other than his principled opposition to the ruling government and his arrest and detention are meant to silence the opposition and create a one-party state by the respondents to allow the APC to dominate Nigeria. Nobody knows the present whereabouts of the applicant, as to his exact place of detention, his condition in the custody and how he is faring. Recently, detainees in the custody of the 1st respondent have been dying due to lack of proper care and adequate medical facilities, as the 1strespondent is not normally well-funded to function effectively, except to be used by the ruling government to hound the opposition,"
No judge has been assigned to the case.

$2.1bn arms deal: I won’t return N100m I collected from Anenih -Falae

Posted: 11 Jan 2016 11:04 AM PST

Chairman of the Social Democratic Party, Olu Falae, says he will not refund the N100 million he collected from former PDP board of Trustees chairman, Tony Anenih. The said money has been linked to the $2.1 billion arms fund.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja today, Falae speaking through the party's National Publicity Secretary, Abdul Ahmed Isaiq‎, said the money was handed to his party by Anenih on behalf of PDP


He said the moeny was for the alliance his party entered with PDP to push for the successful re-election of former President Goodluck Jonathan. Falae added that there was no way he nor his party could have known that the money he received was from the money meant for the purchase of arms. He insisted that his party would not return any money to the government coffers, since the money it got was neither from Col. Dasuki nor Office of the National Security Adviser.
"In terms of refund of money, I want to say here that those people who are refunding money are those who got their money directly from the arms deal fund. Our fund did not come from the arms deal, our fund came from an electoral alliance with the PDP and we knew that the PDP had a fund raising committee that gathered billions of naira and PDP had been in government for 16 years. So, with that, we knew that the PDP had the capacity to fund the alliance that was formed with them by the SDP, he explained. You don't postulate what you don't have on the ground, you can't build on a non foundation. We, as a political party knew that the PDP was a capable hand in the electoral alliance which we entered with them. And we equally knew that the PDP had a fund raising, where it generated over N20 billion down. So, whether the money came from Col. Sambo Dasuki or his office, is what we don't know and it is left for them to ask Chief Tony Anenih to explain. We knew that the PDP had been ruling Nigeria for 16 years. So, this was the basis of our electoral alliance with them. We can't refund any money to anybody because the money we got as a party came because of the alliance we had with the PDP and we have the agreement note from this alliance. If it is possible that the money Chief Anenih gave us was from the arms deal, it is left for them to ask Chief Anenih to clarify. As far as we knew, we did not have any dealing with Dasuki.  Our office did not ever have anything to do with the office or person of the National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki. "he said

Groom's skirt falls down to reveal his underwear in front of guests (photos)

Posted: 11 Jan 2016 08:56 AM PST

For one groom in South Asia, his wedding day will always be remembered with an accompanying chuckle and for a very humorous reason. In what could be described as anyone's worst nightmare, his traditional skirt fell down leaving him exposed in front of wedding guests.


The man was filmed wearing a veshti skirt, a traditional men's garment, worn in South Asia wrapped around the waist and secured only by a knot. The groom is walking with the bride behind him holding hands when it suddenly falls down exposing his underwear and legs. And it was his wife's inadvertent doing after she accidentally stepped on his skirt. The man quickly bent down to retrieve what remained of his dignity but not before footage of the incident had been captured.
