I CAN’T FEED MY FAMILY, EFCC HAS FROZEN ALL MY ACCOUNTS – METUH
A former National Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party, Chief Olisa Metuh, has told the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC had on Monday frozen all his bank accounts.
Metuh, who expressed shock over the development, said he learnt of the no-debit order placed on his account after his failed transaction on one of the accounts on Tuesday.
He told the court presided over by Justice Okon Abang that as a result of the development, he could no longer feed his family or buy things as common as water and pain-relieving medicine like Panadol.
The ex-spokesperson for the PDP said, “The EFCC seized my accounts yesterday night and I can’t get money to feed my family.
“I am in total shock as I am here talking to you. I don’t even know what to say.
“They seized all my accounts in every bank in this country. As I am don’t have money to buy Panadol or water to drink.”
Metuh was testifying in his trial as a defence witness when he digressed into making the comments about his frozen accounts on Tuesday.
The ex-spokesperson noted that the freezing of his accounts had to do with his ongoing trial on the charges bordering on the N400m he allegedly received fraudulently from the Office of the National Security Adviser in 2014.
