‘I have had many surgeries in one year’ – Olisa Metuh begs Nigerians for prayers

EKO HOT BLOG reports that a Former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Olisa Metuh has called on Nigerians to pray for him over his health.

Metuh, in a brief post on his official Facebook page, accompanied with a photo of him on the hospital bed, said he’s had many surgeries in the last year.

Metuh wrote, “In the last one year, I have had many surgeries and procedures and I am believing God this will be my last.

“No matter how angry you’ve been about my outspokenness or outright naked challenge to power back then, please pray for me.

“The cankerworm had eaten deeply into my health, it has not been easy and I have only remained whole through the mercies of God.

“I got some scary news from the surgeons today but my faith remains in God Almighty and with your prayers and by His stripes I am healed and would remain whole in Jesus name”.

Olisa, a lawyer from Otolo, Nnewi in Anambra state, served as PDP publicity secretary between 2012 and 2016.

On January 5, 2016, he was arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC), over some funds released to him from money meant to buy arms.

”From the records, Metuh got over N400 million, he has not said anything because we need the public money to be returned so that it’s going to be used for the public good,” Mr Magu said during a meeting with online media publishers in Lagos.

During his trial, Metuh was sometimes brought to court in ambulances.

As a result of ill-health, he was absent when the case was first heard.
