The spokesperson of the Peoples
Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh, has been released from prison after meeting his
bail conditions.
Mr. Metuh, who is standing trial for
alleged money laundering, was granted bail on January 19, but remained in
detention after failing to meet the terms.
Justice Okon Abang of the Federal
High Court, Abuja, had ordered him to pay N400 million as bond, in addition to
providing two sureties who own properties in the Maitama district of Abuja.
Each surety was also asked to deposit
N200 million.
On Tuesday, the judge agreed that the
sureties could own properties in other areas of Abuja.
Mr. Metuh had asked the court to vary
the terms of his bail.
The PDP spokesperson is accused of
receiving N400 million from a former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
