Metuh is said to be under investigation for allegedly collecting about
N1.4bn from the office of the former National Security Adviser, Col.
Sabo Dasuki.
The money he allegedly collected from Dasuki was alleged to be part of the funds meant for the procurement of arms and ammunition that would have helped our soldiers defeat Boko Haram.
