The Peoples Democratic Party has issued a press release concerning the arrest of its spokesperson; Olisa Metuh by the men of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Below is the statement from PDP:
Officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrived the Abuja home of the spokesman of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh this morning, inviting him to follow them to the commission’s headquarters.
Upon inquiry on the reasons for the invitation, the officials stated that he has some issues to clear with the commission. They also said he was not being arrested but friendly invited. The operatives, four in number, came in a White unmarked Toyota Hiace bus.
As at the time of issuing this statement, Chief Metuh is still being kept at the commission’s headquarters and his lawyers were making frantic efforts to reach him.
While details of why Chief Metuh was invited is yet to be made public by the commission, it could be recalled that severally, Chief Metuh, as the mouthpiece of the opposition party had alerted in various press conferences and statements that he has been under threat and that the ruling party and the government have been very uncomfortable with his stance.
The latest being the outburst and threats by the National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Oyegun in reaction to Chief Metuh’s criticisms of President Buhari’s widely criticized response on the government’s disobedience of court orders, during the last Wednesday’s Presidential Media chat.
The Office of the National Publicity Secretary will keep the public updated on any development on the issue.

it well oo
Let's watch and see. Bihari thinks that he can abuse his powers
This to me is simply witch hunting the opposition.It is very unfortunate that this government does not want opposition at all.They want to silence opposition at all cost.The fake anti corruption stance of this government is only against PDP while APC is allowed to continue to practice corruption since none of them will be arrested for corrupt practices.They are arresting those in opposition and trying to stop freedom of expression in social media.They insulted Jonathan and being a democrat he allowed freedom of expression but they will do everything to shut up the mouth of opposition. This is not democracy at all !!!
