Also, Metuh's lawyer, Emeka Etiaba had in an earlier letter written in February called for Dauski to appear as defence witness in the matter.

However, at the court on Monday, June 19, after ruling for the continuation of the matter on Tuesday, June 20, Legit.ng gathered that the lawyer wrote a fresh letter to the DSS.

The source said: "There are confirmation that Dasuki will be in court tomorrow."

The source also said Dasuki's testimony will establish Metuh's innocence before the court.

"Dasuki’s testimony is key as the case against Metuh in that he reasonably ought to have known that the N400 million paid into the account of his company for a special assignment approved by former President Goodluck Jonathan is part of the proceeds of alleged “unlawful activity of Col. Sambo Dasuki," the source said.
