EFCC Arrests Former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha

April 13, 2021
in Imo State

Former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has been arrested by the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

According to PremiumTimes reports, Okorocha was arrested at about 4 P.M. Tuesday at his Unity House private office in Abuja.

The former governor was arrested after a five-hour standoff with EFCC operatives who trailed him to the location.

Sources told PremiumTimes that the anti-graft agency had repeatedly invited the former governor to its Abuja headquarters in connection with multiple corruption allegations against him.

Mr Okorocha, who is now senator, reportedly declined to honour the invitation, a development that infuriated detectives who fanned out to get him.

The politician is currently being interrogated at the EFCC headquarters and it is unclear if he would be allowed to go home today.

Details of the allegations against the senator are sketchy but our sources said they are related to suspected monumental graft during his eight-year reign as governor.

Mr Okorocha’s spokesperson, Sam Onwuemeodo, could not be reached Tuesday evening to comment for this report.

When contacted, EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the former governor is in his agency’s custody.

He declined further comments when pressed for details of the allegations against the politician.
