The spokesperson of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa
Metuh, has been released from prison after meeting his bail conditions.
Mr. Metuh, who is standing trial for alleged money
laundering, was granted bail on January 19, but remained in detention after
failing to meet the terms.
Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja, had
ordered him to pay N400 million as bond, in addition to providing two sureties
who own properties in the Maitama district of Abuja.
Each surety was also asked to deposit N200 million.
On Tuesday, the judge agreed that the sureties could own
properties in other areas of Abuja.
Mr. Metuh had asked the court to vary the terms of his
bail.
The PDP spokesperson is accused of receiving N400 million
from a former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.
