Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja, insiste
on Tuesday insisted that former President Goodluck Jonathan must appear before
him today, saying his summon was in line with a ruling of the Court of Appeal
in Abuja that faulted his earlier refusal to grant Metuh’s request for subpoena
to be issued against Dasuki.
However, the ex-president was not at the today’s hearing at
Federal High Court in Abuja.
Metuh had asked the court on Monday to summon the former
President as a witness to testify in the case filed against him by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, over alleged N400 million fraud.
Justice Abang said: “Indeed, at the close of business,
yesterday (Monday) being October 23, 2017, precisely at about 3.59 pm, the
registrar forwarded to the court in chamber a subpoena to compel former
President Goodluck Jonathan to appear in court to testify at the instance of
the first defendant (Metuh).
