A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday remanded the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, in Kuje prison.
Metuh, who was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on a seven –count charge, pleaded not guilty to the charges filed against him.
The PDP spokesman’s counsel, Ifedayo Adedipe, filed an oral application for bail, but the prosecuting counsel opposed the application.
The presiding judge, Abang Obong, ordered that the application be properly filed so that the EFCC can respond before it would be entertained.
He directed that Metuh be transferred to the prison from EFCC custody.
