PDP chieftain, Anenih also got N21.8m from Metuh

The former Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Board of Trustees, Chief Tony Anenih, has been fingered again in the ongoing investigation of PDP spokesman, Olisa Metuh.

Punch Newspapers reports that Anenih collected the sum of N21.8m from Metuh.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), while drawing up a fresh charge against the PDP spokesman, accused him and his company, Destra Investments Limited transferred the sum of N21.8m to PDP chieftain.


The new charge filed against Metuh reads: "That you, Olisa Metuh and Destra Investments Limited on December 4, 2014 did transfer the sum of N21,776,000 being part of the sum of N400m which directly represented the unlawful activity of Colonel Mohammed Sambo Dasuki, the then National Security Adviser, (to wit: breach of trust and corruption), to Chief Tony Anenih and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 15(2) (b) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011 (as amended in 2012 and punishable under section 15(3) of the same Act.”

Anenih implicated more people, when he recently revealed how he distributed the N260 million he got from Sambo Dasuki.

Reports say the PDP chieftain is suffering from a severe heart condition, which led him to go for open-heart surgery in the United Kingdom in December 2015.
