The trial of the former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Olisa Metuh on Tuesday recommenced at the Federal High Court, as a former National Security Adviser (NSA), Sambo Dasuki refused to appear.
The case continued despite the absence of former President Goodluck Jonathan who had also been invited as a witness.
The prosecuting counsel Sylvanus Tahir informed the court that despite the fact that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) wrote to the DSS to produce Dasuki in court, the legal adviser of the DSS informed him that Dasuki refused to appear on grounds that his legal team told him not to.
Meanwhile, the federal government’s case against a former Attorney-General of the Federation, Mohammed Adoke, has been adjourned to November 4.
