The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh, has been sent to Kuje Prisons over the $2.1 billion arms scam.
Justice Abang Okon of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja said Metuh should be remanded in the prison upon his arraignment on Friday.
Before his arraignment, Metuh had been in the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, which is prosecuting him for collecting N400 million out of the $2.1 billion meant for the purchase of arms and ammunition to fight the Boko Haram insurgency.
Justice Okon said Metuh should be remanded in Kuje Prisons until January 19 when the case would be heard.
He was accused of having received N400 million out of the $2.1 billion meant for the purchase of arms from a former National Security Adviser, retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki.
