Alleged N150bn fraud: Why Ex-Abia Gov., Orji, sons can’t travel outside country by themomentng(op): 9:06pm On Mar 14, 2020*

A former governor of Abia State, Senator Theodore Orji, and his sons, has been reporting at the Abuja office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), on “regular” basis.

Our investigation revealed, that Orji and his sons, including Chinesum Orji, who is the Speaker of the Abia State House of Assembly, their regular visits were ordered by the anti-graft agency, in continuation of investigation into allegations of fraud and diversion of public funds to the tune of N150 billion.

It was gathered that crack detectives of the EFCC digging into the mind-boggling case of alleged malfeasance, had made “great success”.

So far, the commission has restricted the movement of the former Governor and his sons to the country, with the seizure of their international passports.

According to reports, Orji, who represents Abia Central Senatorial district, allegedly earned N48 billion as security votes in eight years.

This, reports further alleged, was at the rate of N500 million monthly.

There were unconfirmed reports of the purported arrest of the suspects by the commission.

When contacted, the Acting Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Tony Orilade, said he had been inundated with calls to that effect.

“I have been inundated with calls on the purported arrest of the Ex Abia Governor, Theodore Orji and sons.

“They have been coming and going…”, Orilade said

Asked where the interrogation sessions take place, he replied: “(in ( Abuja…very regularly”.

According to him: Their international passports are with the Commission, great success is being made in the investigation”.

Efforts were still being made to contact the lawmaker for comment, as at the time of filing this report.
