The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned in totality the brazen display of authoritarianism demonstrated by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC Government in handcuffing its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh even when the court is yet to hear his case.
This was contained in a statement signed by its National
Secretary, Prof. Adewale Oladipo.
The PDP spokesman who was remanded in Kuje Prison last Friday,
was brought to court this morning in handcuffs.
He was brought to court in a prison bus with registration No.
PS-682-AO.
Metuh is answering to a seven-count criminal charge that was
preferred against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
“This development which expectedly elicited widespread public
outcry clearly betrays an extra-judicial, top political witch-hunt policy of
the APC, carefully designed to humiliate, embarrass and portray PDP leaders as
common criminals and set the stage to cow and decimate opposition and perceived
foes of the government”.
