The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Olisa Metuh, has filed two separate applications, one of which asks Justice Okon Abang of a Federal High Court in Abuja, to disqualify himself from further presiding over his trial.
The other application by Metuh asks the court to adjourn to enable the Court of Appeal rule on his application for stay of proceedings in his trial.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is prosecuting Metuh and his firm, Destra Investments Limited on seven counts of money laundering involving cash transaction with $2m and fraud involving N400m which the PDP spokesperson collected from the Office of the National Security Adviser in November 2014.
Metuh was scheduled to open his defence today filed anchored his application praying the judge to disqualify himself from further presiding over the case on the fact that he was a classmate with the judge in the law school.
