Equity Okon Abang fixed the judgment date after advice to the two gatherings had received their last composed addresses for and against the charges.
While the indictment asked that the court convict Metuh dependent on proof built up against him, the resistance group advised to court to release and clear him, contending that the arraignment had bombed in setting up any body of evidence against him.
Metuh called 15 observers to demonstrate his blamelessness of the tax evasion charges brought against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The EFCC is arraigning Metuh close by his organization, Destra Investment Limited, on a seven-check charge verging on illegal tax avoidance to the tune of N400 million (Four Hundred Million Naira), which he supposedly got from the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) in the number one spot up to the 2015 General Election.
The court had in 2018 given a request for Metuh to close his case, yet needed to clear it to empower him to call additional observers.
On September 27, Metuh who affirmed as the fifteenth observer, told the court under interrogation by arraignment counsel Sylvanus Tahir that there was never an occasion where previous President Goodluck Jonathan had legitimately given any monies to him, saying that his receipt of N400 million from Col. Sambo Dasuki, the previous NSA, was for a national task as coordinated by the ex-President.
The arraignment counsel displayed a Diamond Bank archive which caught the subtleties of the exchanges did by Metuh and his organization, Destra Investment Limited.
