The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has arrested the Accountant-General of Imo State, Uzoho Casmir, for allegedly helping Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, to launder N1.05bn for the governorship and assembly elections on Saturday.

The allegations were contained in an EFCC situation report which was obtained by The PUNCH on Friday.

Okorocha, who is a member of the All Progressives Congress, is supporting his son-in-law, Nwosu of the Action Alliance against the governorship candidate of the APC, Senator Hope Uzodinma.

The act earned Okorocha a suspension from the party last week.

The EFCC report read in part, “The, EFCC, Enugu Zonal Office, Thursday, March 8, 2019 arrested the Acting Accountant General of Imo State, Mr. Uzoho Casmir, on suspicion of laundering the sum of N1.050bn through a new generation bank for the governor of the state, Rochas Okorocha.


“Uzoho’s arrest followed intelligence report that the governor intended to use the money for vote buying in favour of a particular candidate in tomorrow’s gubernatorial election. Intelligence further revealed that Mr Casmir withdrew the amount in three tranches between Tuesday and Thursday this week in the following order; N200m on Tuesday, N500m on Wednesday and N350m on Thursday.

“Meanwhile, the EFCC has blocked the traced accounts, while the arrested Accountant General has been providing useful information to the commission. Mr Casmir was before his appointment, a Director of Finance in Okorocha’s government and was in 2016 fingered in N2bn bailout fund scam, which was then given to the state by the Federal Government for the payment of salary arrears of civil servants.”

Useless man. Useless son in law!

I hope they won't see this one as witch hunt again.

When u challenge the APC government, they will definitely come for u.advise, enjoy your loot quietly while u shout owambe.if u know,we know too.

Hmm! Rochas has fallen out of favour with the power brokers in Abuja and Efcc have suddenly realised they have to act...meanwhile nothing had been heard about the bullion van episode at bourdillon.

That ugly asslicking mofo called Magu is the worst thing to have happened to the anti-corruption agency followed by Farida Waziri.

When he was in APC and was wasting all the state's money on statues, EFCC didn't see him. Now that he is campaigning for AA....

ILOVEJESUS!
IPLAYBASKETBALL!

Would EFCC have arrested him if okorocha was still faithful to the APC? no!

The moment you're not in good terms with APC, that's when EFCC will remember you.

Oh my dearest northern nigeria my dearest katsinan dikko we'll rule till only god knows

These EFCC guys are really brainless. We are still waiting for an arrest to be made on Ganduje or his accountant

Next level they said,Well said

Rochas no where to hide for you again

It's well
Imo is in the hands of God

I don't know why I have strong feelings that this APC party is dreadful

The party would sacrifice anything for their interests



Too much of Korean films will not kee me

This Okorocha succeeded in enriching his children nd son in-laws. Still wondering how this man succeeded in deceiving my pple.
I don’t sorry for dis man.. he should bear d brunt.. useless man of a governor. Aside new owerri, d rest of owerri looks like village

The guy has entered the web of EFCC,they will sift him heartlessly for selling the party out .

Okoroawusa

Rochas sef. � lol

What goes around comes around. It is Okorocha's turn to feel the heat.

Iberiberism will now face the heat.

I knew Okoroawusa will be probed and sent to jail but i never knew the prosecution will start even before his handover. Okoroawusa actually looted Imo state dry with nothing to show for his 8 wasted years.

Abagworo come and do your propaganda work as usual

Omo this politicians are ruthless.

Rochas u see Ur life. The two bullion van in Thieefnubuu house can contain more than 10bn

EFCC oya go to Bourdillon and do the needful


Ndi Imo if una allow. Rochas in-law to win, I pity u lots for d next 4 years.

Iberibe is capable of doing just that

I laugh This one sold his birthright for nothing

This evil man sold IMO state to the devil. Its time of reckoning!

Hmmn

Next they would come for his son in-law

Wait ooo. So no part of the money was used for Presidential elections? Kurruption pighters indeed!
