For the second time in a few days. PDP spokesman, Chief Olisa Metuh was dragged to another court hearing today Jan. 21 in handcuffs. He's reportedly being arraigned for destroying EFCC evidence. Metuh allegedly tore his written statement on Jan. 14th.
The PDP and human rights groups had kicked against his handcuffing describing it as a ploy to mortify the opposition spokesman, saying that his case does not border on security threat.
The anti-graft agency maintained that the said statement would have been vital to its prosecution of the criminal case pending against Metuh before the Federal High Court.

It said that Metuh, by his action, committed an offence contrary to sections 166 and 326 of the Penal Code Act.
Meantime, Justice Ishaq Bello has adjourned hearing on Metuh’s bail application till Monday.
The Judge however queried why the EFCC failed to incorporate the current charge to the one already pending before the FHC.
It will be recalled that Justice Abang had on Tuesday, granted Metuh bail to the tune of N400million.
