The People's Democratic Party (PDP) former National Publicity Secretary Olisa Metuh who is standing trial for an alleged money laundering being part of the funds linked with former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd) appeared in court Monday, 5th February on a stretcher.

 The PDP's former spokesperson, Metuh was wheeled to court following the threat by Justice Okon Abang to revoke his bail if he fails to appear in court today on a stretcher.

His lawyer Emeka Etiaba had informed the court in January that his client was on admission at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital for an undisclosed ailment.
Lead counsel in the case, Dr Onyechi Ikpeazu informed the court that attempts to get Metuh’s doctor to give a time frame for which he would be released from hospital proved abortive.
He, however, made a case for his client to be given a one-month adjournment as he was hopeful that Metuh should be fit to continue with his trial within the period.
Ikpeazu explained further that one month was a reasonable period for the doctors to carry out a valuable and reasonable assessment of his client.
In his ruling, Justice Abang said he has seen that the former PDP spokesman is in a state in which he cannot continue with the trial.
“On account of the condition I have seen him in the courtroom,” he said.
The trial judge held that even though the court of law must be firm in its decisions, it must be fair to parties and when occasion demands, the court needs to also be humane.
He then adjourned the case till March 14, 15 and 16, as pleaded by his counsel.
Metuh was consequently wheeled out of the courtroom and placed in an ambulance which conveyed him to the court.

MORGUE ATTENDANT FONDLE LATE GHANAIAN ARTISTE, EBONY REIGN'S BOOBS IN LEAKED VIDEO

Image
Ghana is gradually becoming a jungle where decency has been thrown to the dogs. Since Ebony Reigns died, several unpleasant things have not only been said about her, indecent pictures have been circulating and it keeps getting disgusting each day. A video is circulating on social media and it has gotten Ghanaians so angry that even Bullet the manager of the late singer has threatened to sue the Bechem Government Hospital in the Brong Ahafo Region. Photo of the man who abused the corpse: The video shows a man in the morgue standing over the two corpses of Ebony and Franky Kuri. Both are n*ked and the video shows the man handling the bodies whilst he talks to some companions off camera. As to why they would do what they’re doing is already disturbing, but that they even took videos of the episode makes things 100 times worse. We can’t show the video (obviously) but honestly this is disgusting and those involved must really be punished. Photo of late Frankie K...
