The Federal High Court, Abuja, has admitted in evidence, the final account tendered by Olisa Metuh, former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Metuh tendered the document at the hearing, detailing how the sum of the N400 million for which he is standing trial, was spent on a special national assignment given to him by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Metuh had earlier tendered a document detailing disbursements, names and signatures of individuals who received funds in execution of the national assignment.
Contrary to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission accusation that the funds were used for political party activities, Metuh told the court that none of the N400-million was spent on the PDP.
Metuh is standing trial for allegedly receiving the sum of N400m from the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, which was meant to be for the purchase of arms at the heat of the Boko Haram insurgency.
