The alarm raised by the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh, in Abuja, alleging threat
to his life was “unnecessary and an attempt to pre-empt his arrest” by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), an operative of the agency has revealed.
He said: “We have been able to established that two of his registered companies were used to launder money to some key members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He has several questions to answer. And we will soon invite him officially for interrogation.
“We believe the alarm he raised on Tuesday was unnecessary and it was an attempt to pre-empt our move. But he has failed.
Some of these suspects believe they can use the media to forestall our determination to get them to account for their dirty deals and it would not work for them.”
The EFCC operative who is involved in the ongoing investigation of many of the suspects linked to the arms deals by the former NSA, Sambo Dasuki, told THISDAY that more of the “key leaders of the PDP, including a member of the party’s board of trustees,’’ would soon be invited for interrogation.
“One or two of them are currently outside the country; we have requested them to come and clarify some issues suspected to be money laundering,’’ the source added.
Recall that Metuh, during a news conference last Tuesday, had claimed that his life was under threat by some suspected federal government’s agents.
Metuh said he did a job for Goodluck Jonathan but refused to disclose this job and how much he got.
