Okorocha
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested former Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha.
He was arrested in Abuja and was later questioned by the EFCC over issues bothering on alleged corruption.
Okorocha, currently representing Imo West at the Senate, was grilled at the EFCC Abuja office on Tuesday.
EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the development but did not give further details.
“It is true, he was arrested today in Abuja but we are not giving details,” he said.
Okorocha had been accused by the Imo government of looting the state’s treasury through various malpractices.
He was in February arrested by police from the Imo State Command for allegedly unsealing Spring Palm Estate linked to his wife, Nkechi.
Okorocha was later released but about 14 of his loyalists are being tried.
The Imo State Government had sealed the Spring Palm Estate and other properties claimed to have been “diverted” by Okorocha and his family members.
But the Senator said the properties were legitimately by him and his family members.
