A former governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim, has been arrested by the Economic and FINANCIAL Crimes COMMISSION, EFCC.

Mr. Ohakim, governor between 2007 and 2011, was arrested Thursday at about 10.05 am at his residence in the Asokoro district of Abuja.

A source at the commission said an invitation was sent to the former governor but that he failed to turn up Wednesday as advised.

EFCC operatives, who had been on his trail for days, our source said, stormed his residence Thursday and drove him in an unmarked car to the commission’s headquarters in the Maitama district of the nation’s CAPITAL.

He is currently being detained, with his interrogation expected to begin later in the day.

The source said the former governor has questions to answer concerning a number of PROPERTY allegedly traced to him.

Also, a former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has willingly surrendered himself for questioning almost the same time Mr. Ohakim was brought into the EFCC’s headquarters in Abuja.

He is currentl‎y been quizzed by the commission’s operatives over alleged bribery and MONEY laundering offences.

who does not know they got money when in power.

questioning his property is questionable.

if he didn't buy or build before leaving office they will say he isn't smart. now EFCC is questioning him.

like some above said. no comment till I see the reason for his arrest. otherwise its witch and wizard hurt.

Remembered how this dude prior to 2011 election was beating his chest claiming he will win the election because he is on ground, but later found himself on the ground after he was floored by Okorocha ... Ikiri or whatever it means

Ochenawanta..Imo people don't know how to laugh.

I will win hands down, i have the structure.

Oha Kin Kin

The witch hunting has just began, na Okorocha and APC handwork.

He will be out of their office before dinner time today, Never 2 be heard from again! SAY NO 2 COSMETIC INTERROGATIONS and PROSECUTIONS! Efcc jobbing gullible nigerians since 1999!

The dead EFCC has just been resurrected. Hopefully Baba would flush out the present crop of docile EFCC heads and replace them with Ribadu incarnates. The EFCC should also be heavily funded so we can hear more news like this. Enough is enough!

PDP had 16 years to witch-hunt and imprison all the APC rogues that have been stealing and impoverishing Nigerians. What did PDP do with that long opportunity?... They themselves were too distracted stealing that they couldn't even arrest a single APC rogue all through their time.

Now APC has taken over and is about to start arresting PDP rogues, some agents of darkness are crying witch-hunt.

All these gra-gra....Until I read Ohakim charged to court... and Ohakim convicted and jailed...

Patapata, na go-and-pay-200naira-fines kind of conviction if there will be any atol

D

Huh?

It is all normal routine.. nothing is gonna come out of it

Yam pepper scatter scatter

dem don start

We not only want arrest. EFCC should go further. Anybody found guilty should be duly prosecuted to a logical conclusion.

wonderful efcc has been resurrected... this is the essence of good leadership, not those shouting that Nigerians should change first before the country can change, now its crystal clear that when the head is clean other parts must follow suit..

Is dis a new efcc or d same old one well we are watching how d story will end

Window dressing.
They are bn called upon to make donations to the federal purse.

Charge him to court Convict him and put him in jail.

No plea bargining please, jail will be the only option if found guilty.

lpsoep:

He should be jailed first. I hope he won't be "jailed" like Timpre Sylva?
