Metuh was wheeled into the court premises amid reactions from people present following order of the trial Judge, Justice Okon Abang who had insisted at the last adjourned date that he either resume or risk going to jail.

Metuh is standing trial over allegations of receiving N400 million from Sambo Dasuki, former national security adviser, and also money laundering charges involving $2 billion.
