EFCC Grills Former Governor, Senator Rochas Okorocha

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has reportedly arrested a former governor of Imo state, Senator Rochas Okorocha. 

According to report, the senator was arrested about 4pm on Tuesday, April 13, at his Unity House private office in Abuja.

The publication learned that the politician was arrested after a five-hour standoff with EFCC operatives who trailed him to the location. 

Okorocha had reportedly declined to honour several invitations from the agency prompting the commission to sent its detectives after him. 

The said arrest of the politicians is reportedly connected to alleged monumental graft during his eight-year reign as governor. 

 Wilson Uwujaren, the spokesperson of the EFCC confirmed the arrest to Vanguard newspaper. He said Okorocha was in the custody of the commission. 

 Uwujaren said: ''Okorocha has been arrested by our men. Meanwhile, the staff have been urged by their boss, Abdulrasheed Bawa, to be hardworking and devoted to work.

 Channels TV reported that Bawa said Nigerians are looking up to them for success in the fight against corruption.

 VAM News gathered that he gave the advice on Thursday, April 8, when he visited the Ibadan zonal office of the commission. 

He said the eagle is now in the hands of the EFCC, adding that the mission and vision of the commission remain the same.
