Former president Goodluck Jonathan has been ordered by the Federal High Court in Abuja to appear before the court to testify as a witness in defence of a former national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Olisa Metuh.

A court official disclosed to the Punch that the Justice Okon Abang signed a draft of the subpoena requiring the former president to appear in court on Wednesday, October 25.

The official however stated that Jonathan’s court appearance would be dependent on whether or not he would be served with the subpoena.

The source said: �I can authoritatively tell you that Metuh’s legal team filed the subpoena before the judge on Monday and the judge signed the subpoena promptly after the proceedings on Monday.

�The judge indicated in the subpoena that the former President should appear in court on Wednesday.

�But whether or not the former President would appear in court on Wednesday would be dependent on if the court bailiff will be able to serve him at his home in Abuja between Monday and the end of Tuesday.”
