In a new twist, the Doctor’s medical report which was tendered
as an exhibit in an Abuja Court, a letter allegedly from the reputable
Wellington Hospital, in London, on behalf of the former Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, Spokesperson, Olisa Metuh, has been disowned by the Hospital.
Dr. Adrian T. H. Casey, had claimed that he is a Neurosurgeon
working with Wellington Hospital, in London. He, therefore, tendered a letter
from Wellington Hospital, to affirm that the former PDP Spokesperson, Metuh,
needed to be treated urgently in the United Kingdom.
An investigation by the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the
United Kingdom, revealed that the said Dr. Casey is not an employee of the
Hospital, as claimed in the court proceedings.
In an email correspondence between the UK party anti-corruption
unit and the Chief Executive Officer of Wellington Hospital, the Hospital
clearly disowned Dr. Casey, and went further to say that the Hospital never
employed Consultants.
It is obvious that the Hospital is not aware of the letter
tendered in an Abuja court in its name, and this suggests that Dr. Casey
appears to be just a Private Consultant to Mr. Metuh, and not employed by Wellington
Hospital.
Metuh who is facing corruption charges, had arrived the Abuja
division of the Federal High Court, in a wheelchair, for the continuation of
his trial before the court.
The country’s corruption watchdog, the Economic and Financial
Crime Commission, EFCC, had alleged that Metuh had before the 2015
Presidential election, received N400 million from the Office of the National
Security Adviser, ONSA, without executing any contract.
According to Vanguard Newspaper, at the resumed proceeding on
Wednesday, Metuh through his Lawyer, Mr. Emeka Etiaba, SAN, applied to be
allowed to travel to the United Kingdom, for medical treatment.
Metuh’s Lawyer told the court that his client’s health had
deteriorated in the past two months.
He posited that the worsening situation of his health would
require urgent medical attention from his Doctors in London, UK.
