National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Olisa Metuh, yesterday raised the alarm of an alleged  plot by the Federal Government to implicate him in its ongoing investigation of alleged diversion of $2.1 billion arms purchase into presidential campaign.

Former National Security Adviser (SA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd), and others are accused of disbursing the money to some top government officials and companies. They are facing trial presently.

Addressing newsmen yesterday in Abuja, Metuh said he collected money from former President Goodluck Jonathan “to carry out some assignment relating to my office and which he (Jonathan)  duly funded.” He denied any  dealings with the immediate past Federal Government or any of its security apparatus.

Metuh, who refused to take questions from newsmen, did not disclose the amount Jonathan gave him and the nature of the assignment.
