Metuh and his company, Destra Investments Ltd, are facing a seven-count charge of receiving the sum of N400 million from the former National Security Adviser, NSA, retired Col. Sambo Dasuki.

Defence Counsel, Onyechi Ikpeazu, informed the court that his Chambers wrote to Jonathan, over the need to make him a witness, without a response; adding that, the defence will apply for a subpoena against Jonathan at the conclusion of Dasuki’s evidence.

The court had in compliance with the order of the Appeal Court in Abuja, on September 29, served a subpoena on Dasuki, to testify in the case.

However, Dasuki’s Lawyer, Ahmed Raji, said his client who has been detained for two years, cannot be compelled to testify, because he is not in the state of mind to do so.

He added that he would need to be granted bail to refresh his memory of the records of events.
