Just 5 months after Chief Olisa Metuh arrogantly stated that he would rather starve in detention than refund the N400 million the EFCC is trying him for, the former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) spokesman has made a remarkable U turn.
Chief Metuh, who has had a lot of time to change his mind (5 months of trial) has through his lawyers, said he was now ready to refund the N400 million traced to his company, which is believed to be part of the $2.1 billion arms cash allegedly diverted at the Office National Security Adviser (ONSA).
Mr. Olisa Metuh’s lead defence counsel, Dr. Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN), has said his client has told the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission that he is willing to return the N400m in question.
Compatriots who remember his earlier stance that he will never return the money have been having a field day, mocking the embattled Metuh despite his predicament. Read all they are saying below…
Metuh says over his dead body for him to return N400M he got from NSA treasury. Someone should help me ask, if he’s now a dead body.

Truly every one love heaven but no one want to die. Metuh speak of dead body but don’t wish to die when he sees fire on the bench.

So Metuh’s family admits their son indeed stole Nig’s money & he’s willing to refund 400m? But they encouraged the theft while it lasted!

The fact that Metuh is willing to return 400m means he’s guilty and should be prosecuted..
