After two nights in detention, EFCC releases Okorocha

Former governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, has regained his freedom after spending 2 nights in custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

This was made known by Okorocha’s aide, who disclosed that the former governor was released around 5:45 pm, and he’s currently in his Maitama residence in Abuja.

The senator who represents Imo West Senatorial District in the National Assembly and governed Imo between 2011 and 2019 had been accused of embezzlement and misappropriation.

Recall that The Port City News had, on Tuesday, April 13th, 2021, reported the arrest of Rochas Okorocha by EFFC.

The ex-governor said the anti-graft agency only invited him to clarify the alleged misappropriation of public funds.

Okorocha said since the anti-graft agency was only doing its job, he cooperated fully with it.
