I smell politics as usual.

He was re-arrested. Same case from his February arrest. He has allegedly been refusing to meet with EFCC officials.

EXCLUSIVE: Former Imo Governor, Rochas Okorocha, arrested
On February 21, Mr Okorocha was arrested by the police for unsealing a hotel owned by his wife shut by the Imo State government.
ByAde Adesomoju April 13, 2021 1 min read
A former Governor of the South-East state of Imo, Rochas Okorocha, has been arrested, PREMIUM TIMES can authoritatively report.

Mr Okorocha was arrested by operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at about 4 P.M. Tuesday at his Unity House private office in Abuja, sources familiar with the matter told this medium.

The former governor was arrested after a five-hour standoff with EFCC operatives who trailed him to the location.

Our sources said the anti-graft agency had repeatedly invited the former governor to its Abuja headquarters in connection with multiple corruption allegations against him.

Mr Okorocha, who is now senator, reportedly declined to honour the invitation, a development that infuriated detectives who fanned out to get him.

The politician is currently being interrogated at the EFCC headquarters and it is unclear if he would be allowed to go home today.

Details of the allegations against the senator are sketchy but our sources said they are related to suspected monumental graft during his eight-year reign as governor.

Mr Okorocha’s spokesperson, Sam Onwuemeodo, could not be reached Tuesday evening to comment for this report.

When contacted, EFCC spokesperson, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the former governor is in his agency’s custody.

Make dem transfer am to KUJE so that he can be their New EMIR..
E go shock am.. this dude looted imo dry.. Governor wey finish election for em second term come tell imolites say d state dey owe am..
If Buhari can convict and lock up our eastern corrupt politicians, I would be eternally grateful to him.. this guys dey loot us dry..
Abegg, make dem feed am with better watery Beans for detention..

And it's funny that people think that if the South East actualizes Biafra, the region will become Africa's Singapore or Dubai.

The corruption that is so commonplace in Nigeria will be carried over to the different republics that would emerge if Nigeria breaks up. Let's stop fooling ourselves. Africans don't make good leaders. Selfishness is not in our DNA. When we attain power, all we think about is how to empty the treasury.

I hate China because the Chinese govt props up dictators around the world, but I admire the CCP for what they have achieved in 3 decades. Turning a country with an agrarian economy into the world's second largest and soon to be the world's largest is a miracle. Lifting more than 600 millon people out of poverty in three decades is a miracle. What the Chinese govt has done has never been done before. We don't give the Chinese govt the credit it deserves. How they effectively run a country of 1 billion people should be studied in schools.

African leaders are only interested in stealing public funds and abusing their power.

I want every region in Nigeria to have a shot at producing the president. Let it be rotational. But be assured that if Nigeria breaks up, the hardship we face now, will be faced in our respective countries.

No matter what our darling president does, wailers will still wail. Nobody is coming up with that nonsense analogy that once you're in Apc you're a new creature. The president keeps proving on daily basis to Nigerians that he's a man for all. If Rochas is found guilty, he should be made to face the full wrath of the law. He can't launder money meant for the future of our unborn children.
God bless president Buhari
God bless the federal republic of Nigeria.


Will you kept quiet

As if Gandollars and Orji Uzor are not from APC.... You are yet to make a point

Shut up you dirty smelling idiotic zombie. Your stupid president is a bigot and ethnic champion. Let him arrest ganduje, elrufai and all the northern terrorists and bandits and fulani herdsmen and terrorists and stop targeting easterners then we will take him seriously.

EFCC is supposed to operate independently. Why are you talking about Buhari? Unless you are claiming that he interferes in their investigations..

So because of rochas, south east won't be as successful as dubai or singapore?
You failed to realize that crooked and corrupt south east leaders are mostly created and imposed by the federal government.

My Bro... You made good points too on this..
Easterners thinks that Biafra if actualised would become a Singapore in Development and economy but the bitter Truth is that the IGBOs are the most corrupt in the country of all tribes..
Same corruption would hinder the growth and progress of the country..
As for China, have you wondered how they achieved that without recognizing the two biggest religion of the world ie Islam and christianity ... It is simply coz religion has always done more harm than good..
