The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has invited the ex-Imo State Governor and the lawmaker representing Imo West Senatorial District, Rochas Okorocha.
This is according to his media aide, Sam Onwuemeodo, who stated this in a press statement issued on Tuesday.
The anti-graft agency had quizzed the lawmaker weeks after operatives of the Imo State Police Command arrested him in February for allegedly unsealing Spring Palm Estate linked to his wife, Nkechi.
The Imo State Government sealed the estate and other properties it claimed to have been diverted by Okorocha and his family members but the Senator has since said the properties were legitimately his own and that of his family.
