Just in: Metuh appears in court on stretcher

The trial judge, Justice Okon Abang, had to adjourn the matter due to the condition of the defendant.

After the matter was adjourned, Metuh was taken to an ambulance of the National Hospital, Abuja, waiting outside the courtroom.

He was driven off in the ambulance with number plate, 44Q 20FG, at about 10:27am on Monday.

The case was adjourned till March 14.
