Mr Metuh's Legal Team: Time for Defence!



The Legal Team

Now that it is time for  Olisa Metuh to present his defence,  tell the court that the  standard criminal liability as expressed in the Latin phrase, actus reus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea  applies as you know  meaning “the act is not culpable unless the mind is guilty”.  That criminal liability does not attach for the following reasons:
1.    Former NSA Dasuki did not say the money was meant for ammunitions  and as a matter of fact Dasuki was not called by the prosecution to testify; so  it is apposite to re-affirm that the money was actually security votes and security votes even of President Buhari’s right now not made public.

2.    President GEJ’s speech in Switzerland few weeks ago when he affirmed to all that his regime bought arms and fought boko haram reason the election was postponed by six weeks, the regional forces  operation helped. Therefore attach copies of the speech google search it online.

3.    That you never worked in the defence department or in a public office. And buying a house in Banana Island for N500Million with your spouse; even Billionaire Blogger bought a house in Banana Island last year and first of all you are a lawyer and a number of prominent lawyers in Nigeria own homes in Banana Island including those empowered by former CBN Gov Sanusi.

4.    That you are a politician and the spokesman of a political party that did the glorious and magnanimous act of conceding electoral victory because you wanted the country to move forward unlike some enemies of progress and that is why you are being tried to stifle opposition and turn a big country into a one party state so that tyranny sets in and sit-tight a trend.

5.    That it is political persecution by a regime afraid of a competition.

6.    That the persecutor has not been able to present a credible alternative in governance, nearly a year after Buhari won a flawed election its first budget of 2016 has been trashed by the Nigerian senate, a corrupt budget.

7.    That the Naira poorly performed under Buhari’s watch and contrary to his promises he  failed to disclose useful information on the whereabout of  chibok girls and he never seems to take responsibility for any of his campaign promises ran on propaganda. Boko haram is deadlier under Buhari; that Biafra has instituted human rights violations proceedings in ICC Netherlands just as Shiite Muslims were massacred in Zaria and PMB looked away; EU did issue PMB warning on human rights when Jonathan was receiving human rights award from Martin Luther King’s Institution in US. PMB’s priority was not commoners but construction of a helipad in Daura within 4 weeks of his swearing in at the cost of $500,000= his lifestyle nowadays is far from being Spartan he travels with cook and luggage handlers when Shehu Garba could use rollers to pull his luggage. He keeps presidential profligacy of exorbitant fleet. Does not cut waste!

8.    That authors and commentators have written off PMB’s Budget of Fraud. Compile the newspaper publications google search and present it to court.

9.    That Buhari’s amnesty co-ordinator blew N48Billion in 5 months and that means they are blowing N10Billion on a monthly basis a far cry from the N10Billion Dasuki took from NSA CBN account for your PDP members.

10.                      That you have no doubt that PDP committed blunders and you have to correct it in the states where you won so that you may have a leverage at the centre next time hence a conviction and jail term may not serve well rather acquittal and discharge. That Buhari is not fighting corruption which is why those working with him engage in corrupt practices with impunity.
Respectfully make your legal submissions and tender your Exhibits calmly but put in some political fireworks bearing in mind your matter is largely political.

Respectfully submitted,

Attorney CN Ajie
