The immediate past National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh is willing to return the N400m he allegedly received from the Office of the National Security Adviser in November, 2014, Punch reports.
His defence counsel, Dr. Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN), revealed that his client has told the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that he is willing to return the N400m.
