Nigerians have set their sights on a former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, after a former spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, was jailed on Tuesday for seven years for money laundering.
Mr Metuh was convicted on all the seven counts, including the fraudulent receipt of N400 million from Dasuki in November 2014 and use of the money for political activities of the PDP and for his personal purposes.

He was also convicted for transacting with the sum of $2 million cash without going through a financial institution.
Earlier, a Federal High Court in Abuja sentenced the former spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, to seven years in prison for money laundering.
Justice Okon Abang handed down the sentence on Tuesday in his judgement on seven counts of money laundering and criminal diversion of funds to the tune of N400 million.
The charges were filed against the former PDP spokesperson and his company, Destra investment, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The trial judge sentenced Metuh after convicting him and found him guilty of all the charges brought against him by the anti-graft agency.
Nigerians on Twitter have begun anticipating the fate of Dasuki who is on bail in a separate trial.

Olisa Metuh was given funds by Dasuki on orders of GEJ, he did what he was asked for, later money was realized to be arms purchase money and Metuh is jailed
GEJ was never even invited for questioning, Dasuki is at home on bail
Shekarau and others are free
Where is justice.

So Dasuki will get like 50 years?? How about GEJ?? Abeg this is wild 😅😅.
I thought he was going to get 7 or 10 years. 39 years for N400M? When some Governors and Ministers that allegedly stole billions are walking free. Haba! https://t.co/dsVBILrxQg

Now that the @officialEFCC has been able to proved that Olisa Metuh partook in sharing funds meant for fighting Boko Haram, from the office of Col. Dasuki, can the Rule of Law withdraw back the international passport of Dasuki and put him in the jail he deserves?
