IMO: EFCC arrests ex-gov, Okorocha

THE Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested former Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha.

According to Punch, the Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed that Okorocha was arrested in Abuja today.

Uwujaren, however, refused to comment on the reason for the arrest of the Senator representing Imo West Senatorial District.

When asked, the EFCC official said, “It is true, he (Okorocha) was arrested today in Abuja but we are not giving details.”

The Uzodinma administration had accused Okorocha of arrogating property belonging to Imo government to himself during his reign as the governor of the state.

Some of the property have been “confiscated” by the current administration.

Okorocha’s arrest may not be unconnected with some of the claims by the Imo state government
