Metuh, Amosu, Umar beg EFCC: let’s refund our loot – The Nation

The trio, on trial for alleged corruption, want to refund cash and surrender property to avoid going to jail, The Nation reports. An EFCC source said that the agency got requests from Olisa Metuh, ex-Chiefs of Air Staff Air Marshals Adeshola Amosu and Mohammed Dikko Umar. .

Metuh is standing trial for allegedly receiving N400m from Dasuki. The cash is believed to be part of the $2.1 billion security fund that was allegedly diverted. Umar was arraigned on a 7-count charge bordering on money laundering, criminal breach of trust and corruption of about N9.7bn. .

Amosu was arraigned alongside Air Vice marshal (AVM) Jacob Adigun and Air Commodore Gbadebo Olugbenga, on a 26-count of stealing about N50bn. The EFCC source added: “We have formally received their letters of plea bargain and we are studying their terms.

We may enter into a plea bargain with the accused persons if it will serve the public interest. The interest is getting back the stolen funds. If they can fulfill this condition (public interest), we may accept their offers.”
