EFCC Arrests Theodore Orji Over ₦48 Billion Security Votes by SamuelOamen(op): 5:37pm On Aug 19, 2021

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has taken into custody a former Abia Governor, Sen. Theodore Orji and his son, Chinedu over alleged N48billion security votes.

The two leaders are also expected to account for N2billion Ecological Fund and conversion of Sure-P funds.

While the ex-Governor was intercepted at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja before boarding a flight, his son reported to the EFCC headquarters.

According to a source, the ex-Governor, who has been on the Commission’s watch list, was intercepted at the Nnamdi International Airport, Abuja at about 1000 hours on Thursday and brought to the headquarters of the EFCC at Jabi, Abuja for the continuation of his interrogation.

The source said: “He is being quizzed alongside his son, Chinedu, the current Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly, who turned himself in this afternoon upon learning of the arrest of his father.

“Senator Orji and his sons, Chinedu and Ogbonna, are under investigation by the EFCC for offences bordering on misappropriation of public funds and money laundering.

“The ex- Governor is alleged to have collected N500million monthly as security vote for eight years as governor of Abia state between 2007 and 2015.

“Other issues relate to the alleged mismanagement of N2billion Ecological Fund and conversion of Sure-P funds.”

The Head of Media and Publicity of EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the arrest of the former Governor.

This men have raped Abia black and blue. But they are likely going to decamp to the opposition party, after which their sins will be forgiven. They will be integrated into the real looting party where they will loot more funds

I want to celebrate but knowing this is Nigeria they might be free sooner than you expect.
This orji that resembles a chimpanzee literally stole 3 years worth of federal allocation from the FG to Abia state.

Update: The man has been freed. This is anti corruption Buhari/APC style.
The man can even go further and decamp to the jihadists party APC along with "Ikuku Abia" the speaker and he can be rest assured the case will die a permanent death.

This EFCC are dumb people honestly how can u arrest a former governor for security votes spending ?

The constitution is clear that the governor can do what's so ever he wants including looting it

Seek to amend the constitution of u don't like it

No wonder they keep losing case ordinary metu and dasuki a 100 level lawyer would win they lost

When u lose this case he would slam a bad faith injunction against EFCC to prevent further investigation ...maybe na plan work with EFCC Sha .. because this case is baseless
