Abel Ozioko, laywer to the convicted former national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh has referred to the court verdict which sent his client to seven year jail for N400 Million Dasuki loot as a bad judgment.
Reacting to Justice Okon Abang ruling at the Federal High Court in Abuja today, February 25, Ozioko said that the case was new to the judge and as such, he carried out an experiment on Metuh.
The lawyer who vowed to appeal the verdict, stressed that the case was new to the judge and as such, he carried out an experiment on Metuh.
“The judge confessed that an issue like this is novel; in other words, he was carrying out an experiment.”
Metuh’s counsel alleged that the ruling was a clear example of bad judgement and that this is why it must be contested.
“I still have confidence in the law court and we are heading upstairs to the three wise men to know whether he is right or wrong.”
The Court had earlier in the day, found Metuh guilty of money laundering, and found Metuh guilty on all the seven charges slammed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
