The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) has arrested Rochas Okorocha, former governor of Imo State.

EFCC Head of Media and Publicity, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed to The Punch on Tuesday that Okorocha was arrested in Abuja.

Uwujaren, however, declined to comment on the reason for the arrest of the lawmaker representing Imo West in the senate.

When asked, the EFCC official said; “It is true, he (Okorocha) was arrested today in Abuja but we are not giving details.”

Okorocha, who governed Imo from 2011 to 2019, had been accused by the state government of various corrupt practices including diversion of public funds, although he has denied any wrongdoing.
