PDP TO EFCC: MAKE PUBLIC EVIDENCE THAT METUH RECEIVED N1.4 BILLION FROM DASUKI
The office of the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party has debunked allegations that the spokesman of the party, Olisa Metuh, received N1.4 billion and N4 million monthly stipend from the Office of the former National Security Adviser.
In a statement by Metuh’s media aide, Richard Ihediwa, the party said: “These reports are completely false, mischievous and fabricated to mislead the public and derail the course of proper investigation on issues relating to Chief Metuh.”
He said neither Metuh nor his office received the figures reported in the media.
“We therefore challenge the EFCC to substantiate that Chief Metuh received the said N1.4 billion figure, as well as make public any evidence that he ever received N4 million monthly stipend from the Office of the National Security Adviser.
AMNESTY OFFICE TO PAY EX-MILITANTS DIRECTLY
The Federal Government has said it will pay all ex-militants their monthly stipends directly, thus bypassing leaders who hitherto paid their boys after collecting bulk money from the Amnesty Office.
Chief of Staff in the office of the Special Adviser to the President and Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Colonel Dedis Abel (retd), who spoke on the development, yesterday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, said that discoveries showed that some of the ex-agitators got as low as N20,000 monthly from their commanders instead of the N65,000 they were entitled to.
He said that he was in the state to make direct payments covering the months of October to December 2015, owed the ex-agitators.
He said: “The Amnesty Office took the decision to pay the ex-agitators directly following reports of complicity and short-changing of some of them by their leaders. Reports revealed that some of the ex-agitators were paid as low as N20,000 out of the N65,000 which does not conform with the mandate of the Presidential Amnesty Programme."
