A few days after he was granted N400m bail, Justice Bello,ordered Olisa Metuh to be remanded in Kuje prison custody.
The PDP National Publicity Secretary who was arraigned yesterday for allegedly destroying EFCC evidence by tearing his written statement on Jan. 14th,pleaded not guilty. The bail hearing has been fixed for January 25, 2016.

Shortly after Metuh pleaded not guilty,Metuh’s lawyer Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN) prayed the court to grant the accused bail, taking into consideration the punishment, which does not exceed two years.
