Following the arrest of former governor of Imo state, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), to answer questions over N7.9 billion allegedly traced in many banks to him, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Friday described Okorocha’s continued detention as ‘politically motivated’ calling for “Igbo leaders of thought and opinion molders to get themselves organised in the political interests of Ndigbo”.
Recall Okorocha, who is currently representing Imo west at the senate, was grilled at the EFCC office in Abuja on Tuesday, 12 April, over issues bothering on alleged corruption.
The former governor, who was in charge of Imo from 2011 to 2019, had been accused by the state government of various corrupt practices including diversion of public funds although Okorocha has denied any wrongdoing.
