The family of detained national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Olisa Metuh has revealed that the party scribe has refused to eat any food while in EFCC detention for fear of being poisoned, Premium Times is reporting.

The family also denied the allegation that Metuh received N1.4 billion from the office of the National Security Adviser, under Sambo Dasuki.

Metuh was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday, in connection with the $2.1bn arms deal, and remained in detention byWednesday evening.

In a statement, by Chief Gilbert Metuh for the Obi-Ezeani- Nnewi family, it said that the charges for which the PDP’s spokesperson was arrested had not be known to him, the family and the public.

The family demanded that the EFCC immediately release Metuh from detention or charge him to court.

The statement said the PDP spokesman acknowledged he delivered on an assignment for former President Goodluck Jonathan, and was duly paid.

The family said Mr. Metuh has refused to eat in detention over fears he might be poisoned.

“Our biggest concern for now is the health and safety of our son, who even before his arrest had alerted the nation about various threats to his life, a stance that is not unconnected to his position as the spokesperson of the opposition,” the statement said.

“Our position is more so as he has refused to eat following fears of intentions to poison him in detention.”
