Aide Reveals Why Ex-Gov Okorocha Was Arrested
An aide of former governor Rochas Okorocha, Mr Onwuemeodo, has finally spoken on the arrest of the wealthy politician.
According to report monitored of premiumtimesng.com, he revealed his principal’s arrested “was based on an old petition written by the Imo State Government”.
Hope Uzodimna who currently having a running battle with Okorocha is the incumbent governor of Imo State.
Okorocha, now a senator, was picked up by the operatives of Mr Abdulrasheed Bawa led Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) yesterday, April 13, 2021.
Mr Onwuemeodo’s reaction to the development reads…
“I don’t think EFCC has a new matter with Okorocha.
Remember that after he left as governor, the (Imo) state government wrote petitions against him, the EFCC came and investigated this matter.
“The matter between Okorocha and EFCC has been pending in various courts, it is not a new matter.
Unless they must have invited him to come and clarify one or two issues.
Everybody is here, including his lawyers.
At the end of the day, when they finish talking with him, we can now know what to do.”
