“Judgement Day Awaits You”, Fayose Tells Justice Okon, As Metuh Leaves Prisons |The Source

By Gideon Njoku

Olisa Metuh, former People’s Democratic Party’s Publicity Secretary, was released from Kuje Prisons Thursday night.

Metuh’s release is an invaluable Christmas gift to his family and friends.

Welcoming him back after an about 10 months in jail, former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, told him that tough times don’t last.

Taking to his tweeter,  Fayose said: “Welcome back home Olisa Metuh. Tough times don’t last.”

And to Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court who jailed Metuh for seven years, and stripped him and his company of everything, Fayose had a message: “You will, one day reap the rewards of the hardship and suffering your miscarriage of Justice has made many Nigerians go through”

Metuh’s release followed the nullification of his sentence by the Court of Appeal on December 16.

In the unanimous judgement read by the Hon. Justice Adah, the three-man Panel berated Justice Abang for his prejudice against  Metuh. They said he allowed his personal prejudice to becloud his sense of justice and, thus, denied Metuh fair hearing.

Their Lordships ordered that the case be started afresh before another Judge.
