I Was Invited By EFCC, Not Arrested, Says Okorocha

A former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, on Tuesday said that he was not arrested by the Economic Financial Crimes Commission contrary to the speculations making the rounds.

Okorocha in a statement by his Spokesperson, Sam Onwuemeodo, disclosed that he only honoured an invitation by the anti-graft agency.

Stating that the EFCC facility is not “a slaughterhouse,” the statement disclosed that the agency was only investigating Okorocha’s activities as an ex-governor of Imo State following a petition written by an ex-governor of the state, Emeka Ihedioha.

The statement informed that the matter between Okorocha who now represents Imo West at the Senate was pending in court.

“And if the EFCC has decided to invite Okorocha for clarifications on the matters already in courts, especially with a new Chairman at the helm of affairs at the Commission, there is nothing wrong with that.
