Okorocha has gone home from our office – EFCC

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says the former governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, has left the antigraft agency’s office and is now in his own house. 

According to a communique, the EFCC said the Senator representing Imo West Senatorial District left the Commission’s office, on the afternoon of Thursday, April 15, 2021.

The EFCC had in reaction to Okorocha’s trip to their office assured that the former Imo State Governor would fully cooperate with the agents of the agency since it was operating within the ambit of the law establishing it.

EFCC’s latest statement on the matter notes that the distinguished Senator lived up to that vow.

“We didn’t bother about whether he spent 24 hours or 48 hours at the Commission’s office. We were only keen on his having the needed opportunity to address the allegations contained in the avalanche of petitions written by the Imo State Government, against the former governor.

“Remember also that, we had alluded that, EFCC was not a slaughterhouse, but a responsible institution, established for the good of the nation and her people. And Okorocha being in his house today, only confirmed our hypothesis that, indeed, the Commission’s office is not an abattoir,” the commission stated.
