A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, on the condition that he pays N400 million as bond.
Mr. Metuh is to also submit his international passport, and must provide two sureties with N200 million each. The sureties must have properties in Maitama district of Abuja.

Mr. Metuh has been in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, for about two weeks.
